Low Cable CrossoverLow Cable Crossover

A cable chest isolation exercise where resistance is applied from below, targeting the upper chest with a crossover motion.

Instructions

  1. To move into the starting position, place the pulleys at the low position, select the resistance to be used and grasp a handle in each hand.
  2. Step forward, gaining tension in the pulleys. Your palms should be facing forward, hands below the waist, and your arms straight. This will be your starting position.
  3. With a slight bend in your arms, draw your hands upward and toward the midline of your body. Your hands should come together in front of your chest, palms facing up.
  4. Return your arms back to the starting position after a brief pause.

Tips

  • Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
  • Focus on squeezing your chest at the top of the movement.
  • Control the weight as you return to the starting position.

Recommended starting values

Sensible novice starting points for each goal, for a lifter aged 25–40. Scale down for smaller frames or older lifters. Treat the first set of any session as a discovery set.
