Au Moyen Âge, il existait plusieurs moyens de déterminer avec une exactitude sans faille qui était coupable de quelque chose. Parmi eux, il y avait les combats. Par la force divine, le vaincu n’ était jamais simplement le plus faible, c'était obligatoirement le fautif. Et il y avait aussi l'épreuve du feu. Elle consistait soit à saisir puis garder un moment en main une barre de fer rougie au feu, soit à mettre la main dans un gant métallique également rougi au feu. Quelle que soit la méthode, grâce à l'intervention divine, celui dont la main guérissait en moins de trois jours était déclaré innocent de ce dont on l'accusait. 3, record 2, French, - %C3%A9preuve%20du%20feu

To perform the cable crossover, begin by grasping one cable, and then carefully walking across the machine to grasp the opposite cable. You should set yourself in the middle of the machine, and ensure that the cables are now meeting at the midline of your body, or with your hands together ... To effectively isolate your pectorals (pec minor and upper fibers of pec major) you must set your upper body at an angle of approximately 70-90 degrees with the ground. Begin by allowing your arms to move out and lower the weight. Only lower the weight to a point where your upper arm is horizontal to the ground ... Once you have reached this point, return to the starting position with your hands meeting at the midline of the body. 4, record 3, English, - cable%20crossover
