Cable Crossover

Cable Crossovers are a staple in chest training routines logged in the Fitness Tracker app. This exercise encourages a full stretch and strong contraction through a wide arc, making it ideal for isolation and hypertrophy work.

Instructions

1. Set the cable pulleys above head height and attach standard D-handles to each side.
2. Stand centered between the pulleys and grab a handle in each hand. Step forward into a staggered stance and lean slightly forward from the hips.
3. Begin with your arms extended out to the sides, elbows slightly bent and in line with your shoulders.
4. Bring your hands together in front of your chest in a sweeping arc, squeezing your chest muscles at the midpoint.
5. Slowly reverse the motion under control until you feel a light stretch across the chest, then repeat.
