Cable machines can elevate your training to the next level. With the different attachments available, you can create several different workouts based on your experience level and training goals.

A Multi Purpose Gym Cable Attachment has been designed to allow you to perform various exercises with both a neutral and narrow grip. In this blog, we’re going to identify some of the key exercises you can do with a multi purpose attachment and how they benefit your overall training.

What Exercises Can You Perform with a Multi Purpose Cable Attachment?

Lat Pulldowns

The lat pulldown is an exercise that works the muscles of the back, in particular the lats, rhomboids and traps, as well as the biceps. A neutral grip places less strain on the wrists than a wide grip variation.

• Attach the multi purpose cable attachment to the lat pulldown machine and sit down, securing your legs in place.

• Hold onto the neutral or narrow grip and brace your core.

• Retract your shoulders and pull the bar down towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together as you do so.

Neutral Grip Seated Row

A neutral grip row prioritises the muscles in the upper and mid back such as the traps and rhomboids. Working these muscles can help to improve posture as well as build muscle and strength. 

• Secure the attachment to a Cable Machine and sit down, keeping a small bend in your knees.

• Hold onto the attachment with a neutral grip, sit tall with your chest lifted.

• Brace your core as you pull the bar towards your stomach and squeeze your shoulder blades together.

Bicep Curls and Hammer Curls

Bicep and hammer curls both prioritise the muscles in the biceps, with the hammer curl placing a greater emphasis on the brachialis and forearms. The slight angles on the multi purpose attachment make the movement comfortable on the wrists.

• Secure the multi purpose attachment to the cable machine or functional trainer and adjust it to the lowest setting.

• Stand to face the machine and hold onto the narrow grips. Keep your elbows tucked in and curl the bar towards your shoulders.

• To perform a hammer curl, use the neutral grip and repeat the same movement.
