Cable Crossover

Step-by-Step Guide
Set Up the Machine:
Set the pulleys just above your shoulder height, on the cable machine and attach handles.
Choose a moderate weight to start.
Position Yourself:
Stand in the center of the machine, grabbing a handle in each hand, palms facing forward.
Bring both your feets - two steps forward, bend slightly at the hips, and keep your core tight.
Extend your arms out to the sides with a slight bend in the elbows.
Perform the Exercise:
Pull the handles together in a wide arc, bringing them in front of you while squeezing your chest.
Slowly return to the starting position, controlling the movement.
Breathing:
Exhale as you bring your hands together.
Inhale as you return to the starting position.
Reps and Sets:
Aim for 10-15 reps per set and perform 3-4 sets for best results.
Try to do 8 reps with moderate to heavy weight in your last set
After your last set, lower the weight to half of your max-reps set, and aim for 20 reps
Helpful Tips:
Control Your Movements:
Avoid swinging or jerking the weights. Slow, controlled movements maximize chest activation.
Don’t Overload the Weight:
Start light and increase weight gradually to maintain form.
Focus on the Squeeze:
Pause at the peak of the movement to fully engage your chest.
