Hand adduction strength equipment

Arm adduction

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