Upper Body Workout Today: Isolateral Cable Exercises the Key
So I did upper body this morning at the Gym here in Singapore: 10 Min on the Elliptical and then into it. Tried the old trick of pre-exhaustion through isolation exercises; namely dumbell chest flys to start. As the heart rate chart shows, not the best. So instead I did a chest pre-exhaustion using isolateral cable flys (those are the BIG peaks in the first bit of my weights routine on the chart). An all together much better idea- the reason, cable machines give you resistance throughout the movement whereas in a standard chest fly the last part of the movement is basically at full extension and the weights just doing nothing. An easy session on the bike again tonight.
