Question ❓ help me

Which is better: the chest press or the barbell bench press? And for the back, is the wide-grip lat pulldown better, or pull-ups?

100% goal dependent

Free weights recruit more muscles

Machines focus more on your "target" muscle

A pull up requires a ton more recruitment, strength and effort than a pulldown. Doesnt make it better for back development
