Seated Chest Press and Flys on the Powertec Shape System
One of the main reasons people buy cable crossovers is to do cable crossovers. This video shows you two great exercises that will work your chest better than the traditional cable crossover movement. It is this functionality plus the fact that the Powertec Shape System takes up a fraction of the space of an old style cable crossover that make this new design a better option for your gym.
These are my two favourite chest exercises on the Powertec Shape System. The seated chest press is a real unique movement on this machine and completely different to the movement of a seated chess machine that you would find in a gym. You can easily target the different areas of the chest from upper to lower chest. You can also target the chest laterally by varying the width of your hand position when starting and finishing the movement.
The flys on the Powertec Shape System is one of the best ways to isolate your pecs. Compared to cable crossovers, dumbbell flys and pec decs it allows you to target the pec through the entire range of the movement. For example with dumbbell flys the resistance is less at the top of the range of movement. The cable crossover involves some lat, traps and shoulders. The pec dec is just hard on your shoulder joint.
