Cables are highly versatile equipment, offering unique benefits in resistance training.
They enable direction manipulation of resistance and use of specialized handles, tailoring muscle activation.
The chest is the muscle group located at the torso's upper front, involved in horizontal pressing and shoulder adduction.
Chest exercises often focus on these movements, enhancing the engaged muscle areas.
Combined, working both pectoral and triceps muscles creates a synergistic effect, effectively targeting pushing motions.
Incorporating cables allows precise exercises for optimal development of these muscle groups.
