Cable exercises
A cable stack keeps tension on the muscle through the whole movement, including the ends of the range where a free weight goes slack. Moving the pulley up or down changes the line of pull.
171 cable exercises, each with step-by-step instructions, a demonstration and the muscles it works — grouped by the muscle they train most.
