Fed up.

Depends on the machine/setup.

But honestly, lets say you could adjust the height of where the range of
motion was on the string/rock. (Like you can with most machines)

That's still 50 pounds, and you're still going through the SAME motion, using the SAME muscles. You can't tell me that there's a difference, I'm sorry.

50 pounds is 50 pounds, and I use the same muscles weather I curl a
freeweight, or a handle attached to 50 pounds of anchored weight.

You're simplifying it a little too much, anyways as I said, ask anyone who has progressed in weight lifting/bodybuilding, machines just don't cut it.

Maybe you're putting to much emphasis into the discussion.

I asked you if adding pulleys to 50 pounds of weight
made a change in the outcome of lifting 50 pounds. *You're* the one who said
all this stuff about machines doing all this extra stuff.

Simply put, 50 pounds is 50 pounds.

1 pound of iron weighs the same as 1 pound of feathers.
You're still lifting 1 pound.

1 pound on a string versus directly lifting 1 pound is still lifting one pound, and requires the same amount of effort.

Rofl, I wouldn't suggest this.

That does seem a bit too much to be honest.

Move kind of slowly or else you will plateau. Just work out for a hour every other day, make sure you do not focus on one thing to much.
