How to perform Cable Crossover
- Set both cable pulleys above head height and attach one handle to each side.
- Take the handles and step forward into a stable stance with a small forward lean.
- Begin with your arms open and elbows slightly bent.
- Keep that elbow bend as you sweep the hands inward and downward in front of your waist.
- Guide the handles back outward and upward through the same controlled arc.
- Repeat without turning the fly into a press or moving your torso with each repetition.
