Fabled Cables
Introduced in 1993, Fabled Cables are IronMind's version of the "chest expander" you used as a kid if you fantasized about becoming a man of muscle. Stuff it in your desk drawer, coat pocket, or your smallest piece of luggage - so you can bang out some training in situations where you might otherwise be left idle.  When you can't carry a set of weights with you, Fabled Cables are a pretty good substitute.  This year we've added a rigid handle that harkens back to our original Fabled Cables. The set comes with six vulcanized natural rubber bands; each has about 9 lb. of resistance, 53 lb. for the set of six. The bands can also be used to add resistance to pulling/pushing exercises like squats, push-ups, and deadlifts. For an excellent book of approximately 50 different cable exercises, get Training with Cables for Strength by John Brookfield.
