CABLE
CROSSOVER
HOW-TO
Stand in the middle
of a cablecrossover
station
with D-handles
attached to both
columns at roughly
shoulder height.
Grab the handles,
step forward to lift
the weight off the
stacks, and start
with your arms
extended out to
your sides. With
a slight bend in
your elbows and
your torso upright
throughout,
contract your
pecs to pull your
hands together
out in front of you.
When your hands
meet, squeeze
your pecs for a
count, then slowly
return to the start
position.
CABLE
CROSSOVER
VARIANTS
Crossovers
can and should
be performed
from a variety of
angles to target
all areas of
the chest. Focus
on the upper
pecs by moving
the cable pulleys
to their lowest
settings and
pulling the handles
upward so your
hands meet in
front of your
upper chest. To
target the lower
pecs, keep the
pulleys up high
and bring your
hands together
at waist height.
