How to perform?
Cable crossovers are a type of strength training exercise that targets the chest muscles. This exercise is typically performed using a cable machine with two adjustable pulleys positioned at the high setting. The exerciser stands between the pulleys and grasps the handles with a neutral grip. The arms are then extended out to the sides, creating a T-shape, and then brought forward until the hands meet in front of the chest. The chest muscles are engaged throughout the movement, with a particular emphasis on the pectoralis major. Cable crossovers can be an effective way to increase chest strength and muscle size, and can be modified by adjusting the angle of the pulleys or the height of the handles.
