Mid Cable Crossover

How to Do:

• Set Up: Position the pulleys of a cable machine to chest height. 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 extended out to the sides, holding the handles with palms facing forward.
• Execution: With a slight bend in your elbows, pull the handles forward 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 mid cable crossover targets the middle portion of the chest, helping to build muscle definition and shape. It also engages stabilising muscles and improves shoulder mobility, enhancing the mind-muscle connection in the chest. This exercise is an effective addition to any chest workout for balanced muscle development and increased overall chest strength.
