Single-Arm Cable Crossover

How to Do:

1. Set Up: Adjust a cable machine pulley to shoulder height. Attach a single D-handle grip.
2. Position Yourself: Stand side-on to the machine, with the cable handle in the hand furthest from the machine. Take a step forward to create tension in the cable.
3. Starting Position: Extend your arm slightly outward with a soft bend in the elbow. Keep your chest upright, core engaged, and feet in a staggered stance for stability.
4. Execute the Movement: Pull the handle across your body in an arcing motion, aiming for the opposite side of your chest. Focus on squeezing your chest muscles as you bring the handle across.
5. Control the Return: Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining tension in the cable.
6. Switch Sides: Complete the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other arm.

Benefits:

The single-arm cable crossover isolates the chest muscles, targeting the inner chest for enhanced definition and strength. It also promotes core stability and unilateral strength balance by engaging stabilising muscles on each side of the body. This movement is ideal for refining symmetry in chest development.
