CABLE

CROSS-

OVER

Setup Set the high pulleys
on both sides of a cable
station to above shoulder
height and attach handles to
them. Grab the handles,
position yourself directly in
the middle of the station,
and step forward about half
a metre so that the weights
aren’t resting on the stack.
Begin with your arms
extended out to your sides
and your elbows slightly
bent and pointed upward.

Execution Keeping only a
slight bend in your elbows,
contract your pecs to bring
the handles together in a
wide arc in front of your
lower chest/upper abs.
Bring your hands together
(or cross your hands over
each other so that your
wrists touch to get a
stronger contraction), then
squeeze your pecs together
hard for a count. Slowly
return the handles to the
starting position.
