#5 Cable Crossover
Cable crossover is a wonderful isolation exercise that is ideal for building the pectoral muscles. The cable machine provides smooth motion and consistent resistance, making it ideal for people of different age groups and diverse skill levels.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand between two high pulleys with feet planted shoulder-width apart. Select appropriate attachments and hold them with both the hands. Take a step forward and pull the attachments towards the front until they are in line with your chest.
Step 2: Gradually move your arms in an arc to the sides until you feel a stretch in your chest. Do not keep a firm arm; bend your elbows to avoid any unnecessary strain on the biceps.
Step 3: Hold for a moment and return to the initial position.
Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important tip: Adjust the angles of the pulley to target the upper, lower and the main pectoral muscles.
