cable machines

Weight stack apparatus

Cable machines are weight-training equipment that use adjustable pulleys and weighted cable systems to provide resistance for strength exercises.

Unlike free weights, the cable creates constant tension throughout the movement, allowing exercises from multiple angles: I finished my workout on the cable machine with some tricep pushdowns.

Found in most commercial gyms, they're valued for versatility and controlled resistance patterns.
