Best Fat Loss Program (Our Pick)
This is by far the best weight loss guide of 2012! I came across while reviewing products for my subscribers and was very surprised at how informative it was. Even I learned things from it!Description The bent over cable press is a rather advanced movement that requires a great deal of stability. The stabilization requirements are what makes the exercise so effective. The body meets the stability demands through the recruitment of additional stabilizing muscles. Also, it trains the muscle groups to work together as a kinetic chain. For [...]

The lower aspect – specifically the sternal site of the pectorals – is both larger and stronger than the upper (clavicular) portion of the chest. This allows heavier weights to be used. Since setting up for this lower chest exercise can be somewhat awkward, [...]

Since the stability is reduced, additional muscles are recruited to help maintain the body’s position throughout the movement. Due to the exercise complexity, only experienced trainees should incorporate exercise ball usage for the dumbbell press. Another notable advantage is [...]
Read More...Description This movement combination was designed to take advantage of the versatility that working with an exercise ball provides. Considering that our muscular strength varies depending both the joint angle and the phase of the movement, manipulating these variables can be highly beneficial. The exercise ball flat-to-incline press is one of these instances. As mentioned [...]
Read More...Description Performing flies while using an exercise ball increases the stability demand which in turn, increases both the muscle recruitment and the movement difficulty. All the same techniques that apply during the basic versions of the fly exercise also apply while using the exercise ball. Most notably, the elbows should be slightly bent and pointing [...]
Read More...Description The seated chest press exercise is a great movement for beginners. The pre-determined path of movement allows the trainee to place his/her primary focus on feeling the muscle rather than focusing on the complex motor skills which are commonly involved with more complex exercises. It should also be noted that since the seated chest [...]

Since the stability is reduced, additional muscles – particularly throughout the core – are recruited in order to maintain the body’s position throughout the movement. By dropping the hips, the angle switches to that of an incline press which [...]
