Low Cable Crossover

Technique

How to perform Low Cable Crossover

1. Attach a handle to each low pulley, select the resistance and stand between the cables holding one handle in each hand.
2. Step forward to take up tension, keeping your torso upright and your stance steady.
3. Start with your hands below waist height, palms facing forward and a slight bend in both elbows.
4. Maintain that elbow bend as you bring your upper arms forward and upward, drawing the handles together in front of your chest.
5. Keep the motion in your shoulders rather than curling the handles upward by bending your elbows.
6. Return along the same arc under control without rocking your torso to move the load.
