Equipment is for people who want to safely train beyond their limitations. Equipment is NOT for jokers who are too lazy to build themselves up with proper technique.
Those who use equipment all the time are the egotistical ones. In the beginning they are afraid to get injured because they don't know proper technique and don't want to find out. Too egotistical to learn. So they use equipment. As a result they shortchange themselves by not using proper technique, not developing adequate core strength and strong joints and thus relying on their equipment to do the work for them. After working up to a certain weight, they won't train without their equipment again because they know it would mean they would have to use a lighter weight, and that really hurts their ego. Again, too egotistical. And if ever they decide not use their equipment and get hurt, they then go around saying that not using equipment is dangerous when all along they are the jokers who have never bothered to get things straight in the first place. Talk about being egotistical!
Please learn to use proper technique first before you injure yourself and start having a "crutch" mentality. If free weight exercises are still so scary, just stick to machines then.
