Training with cables or bands
I’m going to be traveling a lot this year, and since I live a distance from the nearest gym anyway, I’ve decided to train with resistance cables for awhile. What type of gains can I expect?
Cables or bands are worth the work, providing the work is hard and thoughtful and backed by confidence and passion and regularity. Be creative in developing a routine. There are all sorts of variations to cable work if you allow your mind and muscle to communicate freely. Go beyond conventional moves and invent, pump, burn, rep out, push and pull with intensity and involvement from movement to movement.
They’re nothing like weights, but the cables will condition and build muscle and strength. Usually trainees don’t stick with it. Ugh! Give the cables time to root and blossom. Takes guts and need.
Add freehand exercises to the regimen (pushups, dips, walking, etc.) and support it with sound eating and living.
We’re all different with different capacities to build muscle with the iron or with cables or with magic.
Go… Godspeed… Dave
