Rope chest clamp: the difference between high and low positions

★ Posted on 12-02,2024

Training The action is always varied! A slight change in angle will bring a different experience to our muscles!

In chest muscle training, rope clamping is an essential action! Because your arm triceps are barely involved. This will give your chest muscles a stronger pumping feeling

The rope clamp is also like the bench press, different angles will stimulate different muscles!

The most common thing is to adjust different roller skating heights to exercise your chest muscles! Among them are high position and low position chest clamping!

Although both can train the chest muscles well, there are differences between the two

Let’s look at joint movement first!

Because the height of the handle changes the form of shoulder movement! It results in different stimulation of muscle groups!

High chest clamping:The main joint movement involved is the adduction of the shoulders span>

Low chest clamping:The main joint movements involved are Flexion of the shoulder!

Anatomy of the pectoralis major muscle:

Pectoralis major muscle rises The muscle fibers from the upper part end at the lower part, and the muscle fibers originating from the lower part end at the upper part, and a knot is tied at the insertion point.

From the perspective of the muscle fiber direction of the pectoral muscle:

1. The upper chest muscles are more likely to flex the shoulders! Raise the arms, which means that the upper side of our chest muscles play a role

2. The lower part of the chest muscles is more important to draw the arms inward! In other words, the high chest clamp mainly exercises our middle and lower pectoralis major muscles

The chest muscles are one piece. It's a big muscle. When we exercise our chest muscles, many people always use a method. They always fix the roller skates at the same time.A height! This is not a wise move!

By moving the pulley from high to low, you can change the angle of the pull on the breast fibers. In this way, you can exercise the entire chest muscles, and you can also focus more on strengthening your weak parts.

The higher position focuses more on the lower edge of the chest muscles, the lower position focuses more on the muscle fibers in the upper part of the chest, and the middle position can better target the muscles in the middle of the chest muscles!

You need to mix them up! Don’t always exercise at the same angle! By switching the chest clamp between various high points and low points, our entire chest muscles can be developed!
