Cable Standing Up Straight Crossovers
Muscles involved
Planning where to place cable standing up straight crossovers can transform your upper body workouts. While you can certainly use this cable exercise with light weight at the beginning of your session to fire up muscle mind connection, its true power shines as a workout finisher. Using this machine provides constant, uninterrupted resistance throughout the entire range of motion, something free weights cannot match. Right after your heavy press sets, hit this exercise to pump maximum blood into your chest, focusing on squeezing hard at the peak contraction and controlling the stretch to exhaust every remaining muscle fiber safely.
How to do it
1. Stand between two high pulleys with handles in each hand. 2. Lower the handles together in front of your body. 3. Hold the pectoral contraction briefly. 4. Return the handles controllably to the starting position.
