Cable Crossover - Chest

This type of movement is a good way to add variety to your chest workout. Not only can you maintain a contraction in your chest during the entire movement, but you can achieve tremendous stretch at the top and a forceful contraction at the bottom. The cable crossover can help develop the inner portion of your chest where the muscle inserts at the sternum.

1. Grasp a cable handle from a high-cable pulley machine in each hand.
2. Stand upright with your arms out to your sides and your palms facing down.

3. Lean forward slightly and begin pulling the cable handles toward each other until your hands meet in the middle just in front of your thighs.
4.Squeeze your chest at the bottom, then slowly return to the starting position.
5. Be sure to keep your palms facing each other and your elbows just slightly bent throughout the exercise
