My imrpovement

Hello I am new to this forum and I have a few questions. I have been working out at a gym for about 2 months. Only one month witha set routine that I follow. I have been using pinnacle andro poppers. Creatine. L-Glutamine and GNC whey isoburst.

I have gone from doing two sets of 90 pounds on the bench machine. To three or four sets of 140.

I went from 2 sets of fifty pounds on butterfly machine. To four sets of 90 and I upping to 100 this week.

I have upped all of my shoulder excercises 40-60 pounds and I do 4 sets of 7 reps on everything.

My ab work out consists of 2 sets of 10 reps on weighted ab machine. two sets of 50 crunches. 2 sets of 25 sides crunches with one leg over the other. and 3-4 sets of leg raises hanging from my forearms ten to each side twisting. I don't know what it is called but it is the thing with the pull up bar and dipp handles.

Are the good results. It seems like I should be getting stronger than I am. Is this typical. Any way any help will be apreciated. All of the excercises I do are on machines I want to go to a gym with free weights but I have a 3 month membership. should I switch to free weights or wait a couple of months
 
Free weights are better than machines in the long run because they require the use of stabilizer muscles. Certain aux exersizes on machines are useful sometimes, but the majority of your gains will come from free weights.
