Back protection
If you have back problems, the first thing you should do is get a weight belt. It will limit your movement, thus maintaining proper form, as you gradually get more tired during a set. It helps you aim the muscle you want to exercise and reduces the risk of injury.
Safety
Weight machines are usually safer than free weights because the person isn’t grasping onto the weights himself. It won’t fall therefore no injury.
