Low Cable Crossover

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