Weightlifting
Cable Crossovers Instructions

 

Muscles Trained: Chest, shoulders, triceps, forearms to an extent.

Intro: This exercise requires equipment that cannot be found in most home gyms. You will need a unit with two pulleys and handles. This exercise works well as an addition to an already established chest routine that involves barbell and dumbbell pressing movements.

How it is performed: Approach the unit and find the correct handles for each pulley. Stand in the center and grab a handle in each hand. Take a step forward and lean your body forward to target your chest. In an arc motion, move your arms together in front of your body until the two handles practically touch. This exercise can be looked at as a standing fly. Return your arms to their original starting position in a slow and controlled manner. Make sure you do not neglect form for weight, as that can be dangerous to your shoulders. Bending your elbows instead of keeping your arms straight is also a common variation of the exercise.
