Make the Most of the Weight Machines at Your Gym

Cable Machine Standing Leg Lifts
Jay Sullivan

Before


After



With your left side to the machine, put the cuff around your left ankle and hold on to the machine for balance. Bring your left leg across to the right side so that the left foot is to the outside of the right. Do all reps, then repeat both exercises with the opposite legs.

Cables are less effective. Look at the mechanics. The leg is a hinged lever. Placing stress at one end (the weight) and pivoting at the other end (the hip) places lateral stress in the middle on the knee. The seated machines place the stress above the knee. The machines, if used properly, will 'kick butt'. My clients prove it every workout. Email Rick@ultimatebest.net to learn how.
