You can do all kinds of epic exercises with this machine, including, but not limited to:
- 1 upper right
- 1 lower right
- 1 upper left
- 1 lower left

- Cable curls -- Give your biceps more definition by forcing them to work extra hard. The tension of the cable keeps the muscle contracted on both concentric and eccentric phases.
- Cable push-downs -- Focus on your triceps.
- Cable wrist curls -- This is great for your forearms, and is easier on those with weak wrists.
- Cable chest flys -- For definition for your chest, it doesn't get better than this! Some even recommend it in place of the bench press!
