Major muscles used
- Pectorals - Inner and outer chest
Performing cable cross overs
- Grasp a handle of a high pulley in each hand. Step far enough away from the machine to raise the weight stacks.
- Your feet should be hip-width apart, your knees slightly bent and you should be leaning slightly forward.
- Your hands should be at shoulder level with your elbows bent at a 45 degree angle, with hands facing downward.
- Pull both handles downward in an arch while flexing (squeezing) your chest muscles until your hands meet at chest level. Hold for a brief second while flexing (squeezing) your chest.
- Slowly return to the starting position in a controlled manner.
Be careful
- Don't jerk the weights downward and don't let the weights pull your arms upward to the starting position. Always use a slow, controlled movement avoiding momentum.
