Advantages of training with an exercise cage Training with an exercise cage offers a number of advantages that make it an indispensable element in strength training programmes. The most important advantage is safety. Exercise cages provide a stable and safe environment for weight training, reducing the risk of injury. Thanks to the sturdy construction and safety features such as safety pins, users can exercise with heavier weights without fear, which is crucial for developing strength and muscle mass. Another advantage is versatility. Exercise cages allow users to perform a wide range of exercises, from squats and bench presses to deadlifts and pull-ups. The ability to perform all of these exercises on one piece of equipment makes the exercise cage an extremely effective tool for building strength and improving overall fitness. Additionally, training in an exercise cage allows for a higher intensity workout. Users can increase the load and intensity of the exercises without worrying about safety, leading to faster muscle development and improved performance. Types of exercise cages: from basic to specialised There are different types of exercise cages available on the market, which vary in design, size and functions. Basic cages are ideal for those starting out in strength training, offering a simple design with basic functions. They tend to be smaller, making them ideal for home use where space is limited. Advanced cages are larger and offer additional features such as integrated pull-up bars, dip stations and even attachments for ropes and resistance bands. They are ideal for more advanced users who need more variety in their training. Specialised cages are designed with specific needs in mind, such as functional training, crossfit training or high-level strength training. They can include additional accessories such as barbell hooks, rope training systems and other specialised features. Exercises possible in an exercise cage The use of an exercise cage in strength training enables a wide range of exercises to be performed that engage different muscle groups. The exercise cage is ideal for weight-bearing exercises such as barbell squats, which are one of the best exercises for developing leg and glute muscles. Users can safely place the barbell at a height that suits them and also benefit from safety features in case they lose their balance. Another popular exercise is the barbell bench press, which can be performed in an exercise cage using its stability and safety. This exercise focuses on the chest muscles, shoulders and triceps. The deadlift is another effective exercise that can be performed in the exercise cage. It is a comprehensive exercise that engages the muscles of the back, legs and arms, and the exercise cage fuses provide extra safety when lifting heavy weights. Exercise cages are often equipped with pull-up bars to exercise the upper body, including the muscles of the back, biceps and forearms. The ability to perform dips on special handles is another benefit of the cage, allowing you to effectively exercise your triceps and lower chest. Choosing the perfect exercise cage: what to look out for? Choosing the perfect exercise cage requires a considered decision to ensure maximum safety and effectiveness of your workout. The first and most important factor is stability and strength. The cage should be made of a strong material, such as thick steel, to withstand the weight of the barbell and the user, as well as providing stability during exercise. Next, attention should be paid to adjustability. It's a good idea to choose a cage that offers adjustable hook and fuse heights so that it can be adapted to individual needs and different exercises. Multifunctionality is another important aspect. Some cages offer additional features, such as integrated pull-up bars, dip handles or attachments for training accessories, which significantly increases training possibilities. Size and space are also important, especially if the cage is to be used in a home gym. It is important that the cage fits into the space you have available, while still providing enough room to perform exercises. The final factor is price. It is worth investing in the model that offers the best value for money, taking into account durability, functionality and adjustability.
