Mid Cable Crossover

ChestCable Crossover

An isolation movement targeting the mid-chest. The cable setup delivers constant, even resistance across the entire arc.

How to do it

1Set the pulleys at chest height and grab the handles.

2Step forward into a staggered stance for stability and keep your chest up.

3Maintain a soft bend in your elbows throughout the entire set.

4Bring your hands together directly in front of your mid-chest.

5Slowly open your arms back up, feeling a deep stretch across your pecs.

Common mistakes

Bending and extending your elbows during the rep, turning a fly into a press.

Shrugging your shoulders up toward your ears, overworking the upper traps.

Jerking your torso, which reduces exercise effectiveness and risks muscle strain.

Breathing

Exhale as you sweep your hands together, inhale as you return to the stretch position.

This is general guidance, not a medical opinion. Listen to your body: if it hurts, stop. If you have an injury or a chronic condition, talk to a doctor first.
