Are free weight better for building muscle rather than machines?
Generally, yes they are. Machine restrict your ROM (range of motion) which limits the potential of the exercise to build muscle. Machines also follow a strict line of movement which means no stabilizer muscles are needed to manage the weight (unlike free weights). Machines have their place in every workout, but generally speaking, free weights are better for building muscle.
