Yeah, saw that posted over at IGX.
Echoes my experiences and education on the barbell and heavy compound exercises.
On machines///
It should be obvious that a strong man can move the whole weight stack more times than a weak man can. A 600 squatter can leg extend the stack and leg press all the plates that will load on the machine for 20-rep supersets. In fact, the best way to improve your leg extension and leg press is to get your squat up to 600. The other way around doesn't ever work, and it's extremely important to understand why.
Exercise machines isolate muscle groups and work them separately, and basic barbell movements use all the body's muscle mass as a system. Muscles operate the system of levers (the skeleton) which moves the loads we encounter when we use our bodies.- Rippetoe
