Most Popular Strength Machine Exercises on the Jefit App
1. Cable Lat Pulldown (Wide Grip)
The wide-grip lat pulldown is one of the classic bodybuilding exercises used to help build a wider, stronger back. It is a staple exercise in many Jefit strength programs not only because of its versatility, but the fact that it’s also a great compound movement that targets the back.
2. Dip
A good test of upper body strength? The ability to push out a few sets of dips. Try performing 6-8 slow, controlled repetitions using bodyweight with good form. Once you have mastered this, progress to weighted dips, a challenging exercise that can build strength and muscle mass in your chest, triceps, shoulders, and back.
3. Prone Leg Curl
Machine-based leg curls are a great exercise when looking to isolate just the hamstring muscles. With that said they are not the most functional exercise. For more total leg compound movements, but where the hamstrings still come into play, try Squats, Deadlifts and RDL exercises, especially a SLRDL.
4. Decline Crunch
The decline crunch is the fourth most popular exercise where a machine or piece of exercise equipment is used. The decline crunch exercise allows you to keep your legs steady and isolate your core muscles.
5. Cable Rope Triceps Pushdown
The cable rope triceps pushdown exercise uses a rope to help target the triceps muscle for better definition and bigger arms.
6. Machine Fly
The machine fly or butterfly machine exercise is an easy, effective way to target your chest and inner chest muscles.
