We love them and use them in the majority of our training programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But studies have found that they do hold a higher risk of INJURY. This most likely is the case because, with dumbbells, movement is not restricted. If proper form is not used for the entire range of motion when using dumbbells, you are more likely to get hurt!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A low risk of injury is only one reason we love training \u2026 <\/span><b>WITH CABLES!\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are a lot more fluid and smooth than free weights.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They take NO set up time because you aren\u2019t changing and putting weights away.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are great for isolation and for working imbalances with unilateral work.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They help keep you injury-free because using pulleys means you don\u2019t directly push or pull against the force of gravity like you do with free-weights.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cables are a great choice for higher reps, isolation, and focusing on pure mind-muscle connection, which is exactly what we are doing in this killer workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>But there is something VERY DIFFERENT about this workout.
