Cable Crossover
A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.
Instructions
- Stand between two pulleys with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Grasp a handle in each hand, with arms outstretched to your sides, slightly above shoulder height.
- Pull your arms downwards and to the center of your body in a semi-circular motion, keeping a slight bend in the elbows.
- Squeeze your chest muscles at the bottom of the movement before slowly returning to the starting position.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Swinging the arms rather than using controlled movements.
- Not maintaining a slight bend in the elbows.
- Leaning forward excessively instead of standing upright.
- Failing to squeeze the chest muscles at the end of the movement.
