Think of us as digital pre-workout. (Just not watermelon-flavored, please.) Here’s what we’ve got for you today: - The best cable exercises for bodybuilding. - The two best biceps exercises, according to a bodybuilding coach. - A full recap of the 2024 New York Pro. EXERCISE TIPS Cable Plan Image: ThalesAntonio / Shutterstock A good bodybuilder uses every tool at their disposal to build muscle: Barbells for maximal loading, dumbbells to identify and attack muscular imbalances, and, especially, cables. The cable tree is, in many ways, your best friend in the weight room. By freeing yourself from the constraints of gravity, you open up a wide array of new exercises and techniques for building muscle. Think of the cable lateral raise, which applies tension to your shoulder from top to bottom. Or perhaps the tried-and-true chest flye — few exercises help you squeeze your pecs better. You can train basically every muscle in your body with cables, sure, but for maximal muscle growth, context and application reign supreme. Some cable exercises are simply better for bodybuilding than others, and these 10 movements stand above the rest.

That’s where professional muscle-maker Joe Bennett comes in. “The Hypertrophy Coach” trains and consults some of the baddest physique athletes on the planet, including two-time Arnold Classic winner Terrence Ruffin and Ms. Physique Olympia Dana Linn Bailey. In a May 14 YouTube video, Bennett detailed his picks for the pair of biceps curls that stand above the rest: The single-arm preacher curl and the Bayesian cable curl Here’s how to do them to build muscle.
