Cable machines connect the main source of resistance to you by a high strength cable. They can be connected to a selectorized weight stack or a weight plate holder. They’re perfect for cable flys, shoulder press, cable tricep pulldowns and much more. They’re normally only found in commercial gyms, but there are some home gym cable machines available. Usually popular amongst users who are new to weight training for their simplicity of use. You’ll see cable machines in almost every modern gym facility.
