This calls for using the stabilizer muscles, which are otherwise ignored when you are working out on an exercise machine.
Free weights are also great to isolate particular muscles and work on them. When you are exercising with free weights, you can concentrate on working out your biceps or triceps, increasing not only muscle mass, but also gaining strength. Some of these exercises which can be performed with free weights are bicep curls, tricep press downs and lateral raises. You can also use free weights to performed compound exercises. These exercises are performed in order to strengthen multiple muscles. Dips and rows are some of the exercises which can be performed using free weights.
Even when using free weights however, there is a need to use a proper form. In order to get the most out of each of these exercises, it is of the utmost importance that the form is appropriate. Only with proper form can you gain the right kind of muscle mass.
