So Why should your Workout Routines include Cable Exercises?

Freeweight exercises like those on our barbell exercises and dumbbell exercises pages should make up the majority of your workout routines.  However, cable exercises also have their place in workouts and offer their own benefits, which shouldn’t be ignored. 

Cable and weight machine exercises allow you to get a full range of motion from top to bottom.  While using a cable pulley, it’s easier to complete sets with a fluid and controlled movement as machines are designed to help you maintain proper form as the weight moves along a predetermined track.  This can help effectively isolate the muscle your working it a different way.
