If you are looking for a way to improve your golf game, using a cable machine is a great option. With a little bit of effort, you can see significant improvements in your strength, power, balance, and stability.
Here are some technical advanced cable machine exercises for golfers:
1. Cable Face Pull
This exercise is great for strengthening the rear deltoids, which are often weak in golfers. To do a cable face pull, set the cable machine to a high pulley and attach a rope handle. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Grab the rope handle with both hands and extend your arms overhead. Keeping your elbows slightly bent, pull the rope down in front of your face until it touches your chest. Pause, then slowly return to the starting position.
2. Cable Lateral Raise
This exercise is great for strengthening the lateral deltoids, which are also often weak in golfers. To do a cable lateral raise, set the cable machine to a low pulley and attach a single-hand handle. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Grab the handle with your right hand and extend your arm out to your side, keeping your elbow slightly bent. Raise your arm up until it is parallel to the floor. Pause, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.
3. Cable Rotation
This exercise is great for strengthening the core and improving rotational power. To do a cable rotation, set the cable machine to a high pulley and attach a rope handle. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Grab the rope handle with both hands and extend your arms overhead. Keeping your elbows slightly bent, rotate your torso to the right, bringing the rope handle down to your right hip. Pause, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.
4. Cable Chop
This exercise is similar to the cable rotation, but it is performed with a single-hand handle. To do a cable chop, set the cable machine to a high pulley and attach a single-hand handle. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Grab the handle with your right hand and extend your arm out to your side, keeping your elbow slightly bent. Chop the handle down to your right hip, then bring it back up to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.
5. Cable Row
This exercise is great for strengthening the back and improving power. To do a cable row, set the cable machine to a low pulley and attach a D-handle. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Grab the handle with both hands and bend over at the waist, keeping your back straight. Pull the handle towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your sides. Pause, then slowly return to the starting position.
These are just a few of the many cable machine exercises that can benefit golfers. Be sure to start with a light weight and gradually increase the weight as you get stronger. And always remember to focus on good form to avoid injury.
