The main difference between free weights and a universal machine is that free weights require the use of stabilizing muscles to control and balance the movement, while a universal machine guides the movement along a fixed path, isolating specific muscle groups. Free weights can provide a more functional and dynamic workout, while universal machines can be easier to use and offer more controlled movements.
