How to do it

  1. Adjust the weights based on the
  2. motion. When pulling from top to bottom, increase the weight by 20% to 40%
  3. more than the bottom-to-top motion. This accounts for the fact that when
  4. operating from top down, the upper chest muscles are naturally weaker than
  5. the lower chest muscles. So, adjust your weight stack to
  6. compensate.
  7. Position one cable at a high
  8. setting and the other at the lowest level setting. Get into a staggered
  9. stance in between the cable towers.
  10. For the cable set low, pull it
  11. upward and across your body. This effectively targets the upper chest.
  12. For the cable set high, draw it
  13. downward and across your body. This will primarily engage the lower chest.
  14. Once you’re done, swap the
  15. positions of the cables. Change the previously high cable to the lowest
  16. position and vice versa. Repeat the exercise sequence, ensuring you’re
  17. targeting both chest regions effectively.
