The Wide D Grip Pulldown Bar is a more “shoulder friendly” way of training lats. If you have some old shoulder injuries you may find the neutral grip more comfortable, especially on wide grip pulldowns.
The close neutral grip lat pull-down, or close grip v-bar pull-down, is a mass and strength building exercise which primarily targets the latissimus dorsi (Lats) muscles. But the upper back (Rhomboids) is also heavily stimulated during this exercise because of the close grip bar, plus the biceps and forearms get a good workout since you’re using them to pull the weight.
This exercise targets your posterior deltoid alongside your upper back muscles. Using the cables means you are able to create constant tension throughout the movement.

The bent-over cable lateral raise looks similar to the standing bent-over dumbbell lateral raise, but it uses cables instead. Unlike dumbbell raises, where the resistance varies during the movement, the cable pulley affords a uniform resistance throughout the motion.
The cable lateral raise targets the lateral (medial) head of the deltoid muscle. The constant (uniform) tension provided by the cables challenges the shoulders throughout the movement’s entire range-of-motion (ROM).
The one-arm cable lateral raise is an isolated shoulder exercise that targets the deltoids, while increasing stability in both the wrists and the core.

So if you like TRX Hamstring Curls you are going to love the floor roller version! This exercise changes the stimulus direction and you can make this more challenging by adding a theraband stretched in the opposite direction!
This cable exercise targets your upper and mid back and helps strengthen the stabilising muscles in your core!
The bent-over lateral raise is a great isolation exercise which targets the posterior deltoids, giving the shoulders a complete look. It’s best to use light or moderate weights to effectively stimulate your delts as training too heavy is dangerous for your joints.
Face-pulls are a great exercise that not only helps build shoulder stability but also targets your rear delts. Lying supine on a bench and doing face-pulls also gives you far more stability than if you are standing. More stability means you can pull more weight and thus level-up those rear delts and finally get through your sticking points on the bench.
This exercise is a great way to isolate the lats while protecting your core and lower back.
Good mornings are a great way to improve leg, hip, and back strength. You should have a good understanding of weight training fundamentals before adding good mornings to your routine.
The standing cable fly is a variation of the chest fly and an exercise used to strengthen the pushing muscles of the body including the chest, triceps, and shoulders. By setting the cables to the highest setting, you are targeting your upper pecs!
The standing cable fly is a variation of the chest fly and an exercise used to strengthen the pushing muscles of the body including the chest, triceps, and shoulders. By setting the cables to a middle setting, you are targeting your mid pecs!
