I found that with machines if you are not using proper form it will take longer to see results.
This is my experience when I did it myself I let weight go all the way back down to the rack. But a trainer taught me to hold the bar just a few inches above the rack. Then do your next rep. Continue this until you are done with your set. This will make you muscles work harder.
After doing it this I noticed a big difference right away. I am not an expert. But I found out the hard way. Maybe you can avoid this if you have not been shown the proper form. Some gyms do not train you which leads to injury and frustration .
I too am in my 50's.
Hope this helps..
