About

You can maintain the tension on your muscles by using cables. If cable workouts are unavailable, you can replace them with any Fly-type workout!

How to Cable Crossover

Starting Position

1. Fix the cable at a height above your chest.

2. Stand shoulder-width apart, puff out your chest, and straighten your back.

3. Grab the cable with both hands and spread your arms.

Proper Form

1. With your arms slightly bent, bring your hands together using your chest muscles.

2. Slowly return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you bring your arms together, and inhale when you spread your arms out.

Precautions

1. Please use light weights as this exercise can put strain on the shoulders.

2. If you experience shoulder pain, please stop and switch to a different exercise.

3. Be careful not to fully extend your arms.
