Low Cable Crossover
How to Do:
- Set Up: Position the pulleys of a cable machine to the lowest setting. Attach D-handle grips to both sides. Stand in the middle of the machine with one handle in each hand.
- Starting Position: Step one foot forward for stability, slightly bend your knees, and keep your torso upright. Begin with your arms down and slightly behind your body, holding the handles with palms facing forward.
- Execution: With a slight bend in your elbows, pull the handles upward and inward in an arc, aiming to bring your hands together at chest height. Focus on squeezing your chest muscles as you complete the movement.
- Lower Back Down: Slowly return the handles to the starting position, maintaining control and tension in your chest throughout.
- Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions, ensuring proper form on each rep.
Benefits:
The low cable crossover targets the lower portion of the chest, helping to build definition and shape. It also engages stabilising muscles, improves shoulder mobility, and enhances the mind-muscle connection in the chest. This exercise is an effective addition to any chest workout for balanced muscle development.
