No machines, is that a problem?

ForceInertia Posts: 1 Joined: 2004/02/04	2004/02/10, 04:08 PM I recently started lifting weights at home. I have an old bench and some free weights, but no access to a gym. I was wondering if there are any variations of machine exercises which I could do with my weights at home. For example, I do the dumbell kickbacks to work my triceps, but I can't do the cable pushdowns. Also, almost all of the leg workout is performed on machines. Am I missing some valuable exercises because I don't use machines? If so, I want to know some alternatives which I could employ to thoroughly work my muscles. Thank you, ForceInertia P.S. I selected the "free weights only" option in my exercise profile, but the machines appear in my workout anyway.
