>"...regional hypertrophy is affected by the resistance profile of an exercise. This means that different regions of a muscle will grow in response to exercises that place the highest difficulty in specific points of the range of motion.">cables generally have 'smoother' (i.e more even) resistance profiles>therefore by providing smoother resistance profiles, cables cause hypertrophy to be better distributed throughout targeted musclesIn 30 years when we find out cables were the end game, how will you cope?
>>76783720Barbells are so bad to the body compared to dumbbells or cables, Ive been saying this for years but muh compounds muh big 3 muh 1/2/3/4
>>76783720bump
>>76783720>>76783800>lift weight>eat meat>get strongthis is not difficult if you suppress your autism
>>76785267>[x] is sub-optimal even if they work, [y] is a better option>YEAH BUT [x] IS GOOD ENOUGH, DDID YOU THINK OF THATtry again without getting defensive and emotional, you sound like a woman.
>>76783720top: just walk, much more efficient action, does much less for you, even the girl is boredbottom: crazy shit, lots of stimulus to growth, fun as heck
>>76783720>Retard thinks that each muscle should be compartmentalized instead of treating the body as a cohesive unit as nature intendedMany such cases.
>>76785325>why yes I do use my quads in order to bench, my body is a unit
>>76785280>t. can't go and unrack a lmao3pl8 squat right now without ending up in a hospitallollmao
>>76785347>no argumenti accept your concession
>>76783720Yawn. Post body (you won't).
>>76785325>compartmentalizedyou're never gonna become advanced if you don't isolate muscles, you can still do compounds but you're limited if you only do compound movements. Cables are really good for isolating as well, but the main point of my post is that they are good for providing resistance across the entire muscle you're targeting which is better for hypertrophy than free weights which typical have some asymmetric bias
>>76783800only because people use barebells to "prove" how much they can lift by engineering a totally fake scenario in which you use handles to lift the weight vertically off the ground with a neutral spine
>>76785280Not what the other anon was implying you retard. He was just pointing out how so many newbies overcomplicate the process by trying to "optimize" everything instead of just sticking to a single exercise (even if it's supposedly inferior to another variation) or diet for a while. The basics are all you need to get jacked.
>>76785614>[x] is sub-optimal even if they work, [y] is a better option>YEAH BUT [x] IS GOOD ENOUGH, DDID YOU THINK OF THATIf you think "using cables" is too complicated you might be the most retarded person in your gym
