Here's the deal.

You can't get what you want from a machine. Maybe a gym
that has a bunch of machines, but that's a different story.

I've been working out at home.

I have a TRX, and it's better than most machines, not to mention cheaper.

I also have a bunch of resistance bands that I use a lot.
I have these...

But here is something you will like. I take Superbands and cut them so that
they are straps. I then use them to do squats, deadlifts, one leg RDL, etc

I like the 1 3/4 size because I hold a few of them at once. Can't do that with
the bigger ones. Get a couple to start.

But what I would suggest first, is joining a gym for a while. Get someone to show
you how to work out. You might find you like gyms, I do. Coincidentally, I signed up
with a gym today.

Here's a couple good books. The first talks about technique. You still need someone to
show you, but this is a good reference for that sort of thing. I find myself checking
it from time to time.

The next one is New Rules. This is a gym rat's book. If you do this, you prob won't do
much else. Much of the time, the workout they have you do will take everything you've got.
But it's one of the best things out there if you want to do bodybuilding.
