CABLE UPPER CHEST CROSSOVERS

HOW TO DO CABLE UPPER CHEST CROSSOVERS

HOW TO DO:

1. Adjust Pulleys: Set the pulleys to the highest position on the cable machine and attach handles or rope attachments.

2. Grab Handles: Hold one handle in each hand.

3. Position: Take a step forward with one foot, maintaining a slight bend in the knees.

4. Execution: With elbows slightly bent and chest up, slowly cross your arms upward and in front of your head.

5. Contraction: Squeeze your chest muscles at the top of the movement, focusing on the upper chest.

6. Return: Slowly spread the arms apart and lower the handles back to the starting position.

7. Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions with controlled movements.

Benefits:

1. Targeted Upper Chest Development: Specifically targets the clavicular head of the pectoralis major, effectively working the upper chest muscles.

2. Increased Range of Motion: Provides a greater range of motion compared to some other chest exercises, promoting flexibility and muscle activation.

3. Core Stability: Engages the core muscles to maintain stability and proper form throughout the exercise, enhancing overall core strength.

4. Versatility: Can be modified by adjusting cable angles and handle heights, allowing for targeted chest muscle engagement and variety in training.

Notes:

• Ensure proper form and technique to avoid injury and maximize muscle activation.

• Begin with lighter weights and gradually increase resistance as you progress.

• Consider incorporating this exercise into a comprehensive chest workout routine for balanced chest development.
