Exercise Description

The cable crossovers exercise builds chest muscle size and definition. It hits your chest from a unique angle while keeping constant tension throughout the movement.

How To

1. Set both cable pulleys to shoulder height and grab the handles with palms facing down. 2. Step forward into a staggered stance with arms extended wide, feeling a stretch in your chest. 3. Keep a slight bend in your elbows and bring your hands together in a wide arc motion for cable crossovers. 4. Squeeze your chest muscles hard when your hands meet in front of your body. 5. Slowly return to starting position with control, maintaining tension on your chest throughout the cable crossovers movement.

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight and chest up throughout the entire cable crossovers movement to maintain proper posture. • Don't let your arms drift too high or low - keep them at chest level for maximum chest activation. • Focus on squeezing your chest muscles rather than just moving the weight during cable crossovers. • Control the negative portion of the movement - don't let the cables snap back.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and losing proper form during cable crossovers, which reduces chest activation. • Letting your arms bend too much at the elbows, turning the movement into a pressing motion instead of a fly. • Standing too upright instead of leaning slightly forward, which reduces the effectiveness of cable crossovers.
