The Cable-Crossover,or in short,the Cable Cross,is an effective exercise to give a proper shape to the chest,and also for finishing a Chest workout.The best thing about this exercise is that you can work different parts of your chest by varying the tilt of your body.
CORRECT TECHNIQUE:- On a Cable Cross machine,stand with your feet a little wider than shoulder width,and your back towards the machine.
- A cable cross machine looks like this.
- Grab hold of both the handles,select a light weight,bend your elbows a little and bend at the waist.You will look like a “T” at this moment.
- Take a deep breath in,squeeze your abdominal muscles and bring your arms towards each other,as if you are going to hug a tree.
- Make sure both the arms travel in the same line till your hands meet.
- Once your hands meet each other,squeeze your chest for a count of 2 and, keeping the movement under control,reach back to starting position,and stretch your chest.
- Make sure your shoulders are relaxed and your back is straight.
