Cable-based chest expanders have been around for so long for one simple reason:
they work! Many of the old time strongmen used them to achieve never-before-accomplished
strength feats.
Well-known fitness experts like Eugen Sandow, Thomas Inch, Earle E. Liederman, Alfred Danks and Joe Bonomo included
them as part of their recommended training programs. Of course, many Modern Strongmen such as Dennis Rogers and John Brookfield also
train with chest expanders.
The effective use of chest expanders operates on the simple principle of progression:
gradually increasing resistance for different exercises over time to achieve maximum results.
So, the short answer to your question is that quality products
never go out of style.
Chest expanders have proven themselves as effective training tools
for decades, and will be a welcome addition to your more "modern" assortment of training equipment.
