Cable Machines

A cable pulley machine, as the name suggests, uses cables through a pulley system to lift weight plates with different cable ratios. On one end of the cable is the handle and the other end is attached to a weight stack. In this way, it provides resistance for your muscles to work against. This is a single cable machine and is great for targeting isolated muscle groups.

Some cable machines have two weight stacks, connected to two cables with two pulleys. This is a cable crossover machine. You stand in between those two cables and can pull the cables in almost any direction. You will also see handlebars on top of the steel frame which allow you to do pull ups and chin ups.

You'll also come across dual adjustable pulleys, which consist of two weight stacks controlled by a pin loading system. Some people find these easier to manage as the weight you are lifting is essentially halved. The big benefit of these cable gym machines is the sheer volume of exercises that you can perform on them. They also come with a range of cable attachments that add even more options into your training.

To summarise, a cable weight machine simply provides an alternative to free weights, allowing you to perform some exercises such as lat pulldowns more easily.
