Muscles you gain using machines will only help you with ...machines
+ No machines, only free weights.
+ No lifting that's not FULL BODY (Olympic lifts, clean-press, squats, deadlift, farmer's walk). Avoid benchpress.
Rippetoe @SS_strength needs to give Putin a call & yell at him!

2) Benchpress? I hardly know anyone at the gym who benchpresses & doesn't have a shoulder problem. It's not a movement found in nature.
Also squats: very heavy weights cause knee problems UNLESS your form is perfect. Perfection is not of this world. High # of reps solves it.

3) Only problem with weightlifting: unless you compensate (disproportionately) with aerobic exercise you end up looking like Alexeyev & develop arterial stiffening (he died of MI).
My own case: I gained 42lbs from 10y of weighligting (21 muscles/bones, 21 fat), then lost back 25.
