Cable Upper Chest Crossovers
Equipment
Stand in the middle of the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart, grab the handles, and step forward to create tension on the cables, keeping your arms extended out to your sides and slightly bent at the elbows.
Lean your body forward slightly from the hips, maintaining a straight back and tight core.
Slowly bring your hands together in a sweeping arc motion in front of your chest, keeping your elbows slightly bent and squeezing your chest muscles at the peak of the movement.
Gradually return your arms back to the starting position, resisting the pull of the cable until your arms are extended again, and repeat the exercise for your desired number of reps.
Pro Tip
**Proper Grip and Position**: Hold the cable handles with a neutral grip, palms facing each other. Your arms should be extended out to the sides but slightly bent at the elbows. The cables should be set at a high position, a little above shoulder height. Make sure not to grip the handles too tightly, as this can lead to wrist strain. **Controlled Movement**: When performing the crossover, bring your hands together in a controlled, smooth motion. Avoid jerking or using momentum to pull the cables. This ensures you're using your muscles to perform the exercise, not just swinging your arms. **Avoid Overextending
