Hand adduction strength equipment

Bringing hands together

— various hand exercises. One of these exercises is the butterfly described above, but the matter is not limited to this — the simulators also use the reduction of hands on the crossover. The latter option involves the starting position, in which the hands are on the sides of the body, at shoulder level or higher, holding the handles of the cable simulator, and when performing the exercise, the athlete brings his hands together in front of his stomach. It is possible to work on the reduction of hands and lying on a bench, with lower blocks. In both cases, the main study goes to the large pectoral muscles.
Note that some manufacturers confuse the concepts of "butterfly" and "reduction of hands." So when choosing a simulator with such capabilities, you need to pay attention to its equipment: characteristic stops are used for butterfly, and crossover mixing is usually provided in block frames (see "Type").
