The main difference between free weights and a universal machine is that free weights allow for a greater range of motion and engage more muscles for stabilization, while universal machines typically have a fixed range of motion and stabilize the weight for you. Free weights can target specific muscles more effectively and allow for more variety in exercises, while universal machines are generally safer and easier to use, especially for beginners. Universal machines also typically have built-in weight increments, while free weights require manually adding or removing weight plates.
