That is a very good question. What you have to remember is that you are not there to lift weight. You are there to work your muscles. So, the ammount of resistance, ie weight, is irrelovent compared to the intensity at which you perform the exercise. Instead of going for heavy weight, try some high volume sets of 25-100 reps. That way you totaly work the muscle regardless of the weight on the machine. I do 5-6 sets of 100 bottom reps then 4 sets heavy for 10 full range reps. Play with it!
Oh... You can do so much more than two! Every piece of equipment can me manipulated to create new stimuli within the synapses of the muscles. You have much to learn young grasshopper. I will help you, and soon you will be able to snatch the pebble from my hand! LOL see you on Wednesday.
Thank you
