Cable machines are among the most versatile pieces of gym equipment. Adjustable pulleys allow for hundreds of exercises targeting every muscle group with constant tension throughout the movement.
Set the pulley height to match the exercise — low for rows, high for tricep pushdowns, mid for chest flyes. Control the weight on both the concentric and eccentric phases.
