Cable Press
The
cable press is a great exercise that mimics the bench press;
although it is much more functional because you are in a
standing position and also have to stabilize the shoulder blades
in order to move the arms forward. Start by setting the cables
at shoulder height and grasping the handles. Bend your knees a
bit and tighten your abdominal area. Then as you breathe out
push the handles away from you (figure
5.1). Return in a controlled manner. To make this
exercise harder do it on one leg (figure
5.2). Even harder still, add in a rotational
component. Perform 3 sets if standing on both legs and 2 sets
each leg if performing the exercise on one leg. Do 8-12
repetitions each set.
