      It also depends on your goals. If you want an excersice that targets the mid back/lats and also the lower back you can do unsupported, but if you prefer to only target your midback or lats and not let your lower back be a limiting factor you do chest supported.
      I personally do both. Unsopported on one back day, then supported on the next back day, to make sure I isolate my back muscles while also having a strong lower back, because a strong core is important

    Don't have time in the gym for 3. Also the cable machine is ALWAYS very busy.

  • @jcgggg

    For the machine press, rather than a foam roller I grab a step from the group fitness studio and chuck that on the seat. It's about the same width as the back rest and about 3 inches thick so I can really get a deep stretch.
