Cable Crossover

Set-up

• Set both pulleys high and take a handle in each hand.
• Step forward into a split stance and lean slightly forward, with a slight bend in your elbows.

How to do it

1. Bring your hands down and together in front of your hips in a wide arc.
2. Pause briefly with your hands together.
3. Let your arms return slowly along the same arc until you feel a stretch across your chest.

Coaching cues

• Keep the same slight bend in your elbows throughout.
• Keep your torso still: only your arms move.

Common mistakes

• Bending and straightening the elbows so it turns into a press.
• Leaning further forward on each rep to move the weight.
