A compound press that builds pushing strength through the chest, triceps and front deltoids.

Clear muscle focus, benefits, execution cues and common mistakes from Coach Mostafa Shaban’s system.
A compound press that builds pushing strength through the chest, triceps and front deltoids.
Lets each arm work independently and makes left-to-right strength differences easier to notice.
Shifts more pressing work to the upper chest while the front deltoids assist.
Isolates bringing the arms together with stable support and adds controlled chest volume.
Builds overhead pressing strength through the deltoids with help from the triceps.
Targets the side deltoid that raises the arm and helps build shoulder width.
Trains elbow extension against consistent cable resistance with excellent control.
Allows freer wrist movement and lets you separate the rope at full elbow extension.
Trains downward arm pulling through the lats and upper back with biceps assistance.
Builds horizontal pulling strength and trains shoulder-blade retraction.
Trains each side separately to improve control, stability and side-to-side balance.
A closer grip often allows a strong stretch and comfortable range in vertical pulling.
Strengthens hip and trunk extension through a comfortable range in the posterior chain.
Combines pulling and external rotation for the rear delts and upper back.
Provides stable resistance to isolate the rear deltoids while the torso stays supported.
Trains elbow flexion one arm at a time and makes the movement path easy to control.
Maintains relatively consistent tension through the curl’s range of motion.
A compound knee-and-hip movement that builds total lower-body strength.
Trains hip extension, grip and the entire posterior chain in one movement.
Emphasizes the soleus with the knee bent and develops ankle pushing strength.
Trains one leg at a time while challenging balance and lower-body control.
Provides a supported leg-press pattern with adjustable foot position.
Isolates knee extension to directly train the quadriceps.
Isolates knee flexion to directly train the hamstrings.
Trains the muscles that draw the thigh toward the body’s midline.
Targets the hip abductors that help control the pelvis and knee.
Trains hip extension with a strong emphasis on the glute muscles.
