In order to do justice to the principle of varying the training load, the chest muscle training can and should be designed variably. Training on the cable pulley can be used in addition to normal training and is primarily used to define the chest muscles. However, since both arms work symmetrically and a firm stance is required, this training requires a certain amount of movement coordination.

$config[ads_text2] not foundThe athlete stands in a step position, the upper body is leaning forward. The head is an extension of the spine, facing forward. The hands hold the handles of the cable pulley firmly at chest height. In the starting position, the shoulder blades are close together and the chest muscles are stretched to the maximum. The arms are led diagonally forwards and downwards towards each other, the chest muscles are contracted and the shoulder blades move away from each other. The upper body moves as little as possible.
The exercise can be performed with the help of an expander.
The expander is attached at chest height. The flexibility depends on the performance level of the trainee.
