Lying leg curls are one of the top exercises for isolating the hamstrings – the muscles on the back of your thighs.
If you’ve had a training session with Jon recently it’s highly likely you’ve heard him get excited about his newest toy – dynamic training grips. You may have even tried them out firsthand already! For those of you who are not in the know, this article breaks it down for you. Who knows, you may…
A harder variation of the standard double leg hip thrust, this one is a sure way to get the glutes working!
A surefire way to get those posterior delts firing!
The V Grip Cable Front Raise is a variation of the front raise and an exercise used to build the muscles of the shoulders. Utilising the cable machine is useful in that it provides constant tension on the target muscle group as you move the weight through the range of motion.
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!
