Weight machines provide stability and are particularly useful for beginners to safely learn movement patterns.
Pull exercises, including rows and pull-ups, target the back and biceps through compound and isolation movements.
The proposed exercises consider general preferences and base adjustments on averages (5’10”, 180 lbs, 35 years old) while acknowledging individual variability.
Incorporating these tailored movements into a PPL routine enhances focused muscle engagement and safe progress monitoring.
