Most machines are based off designs created by a man who was by his own

sport specific training. But what it does far far far better than machines can
do, is train the body to adapt to loads, and exert force in all 3 planes of
motion,much like it will have to in a sport environment.

Task/Sports performance skill is highly
specific and the body adapts to proficient practice of which over time. Strength
Training is general. While it is obviously important to pay close attention to
specific "needs," the all around strengthening of muscle structures
regardless of plane the is key. Do the best you can with what your dealt. The vast
training modalities that are introduced today provide an athlete with a severe
level of over training This "choice" appears to appeal to the athlete that
cannot discriminate between overkill and the exact needed supplementary
training. In spite of the said training, they can then "get on the field," where
they do operate in their "real world." My opinion.........
