#Info – Cable Crossover
The cable crossover is excellent for targeting the chest muscles. To maximize benefits, ensure you maintain a slight bend in the elbows to reduce joint strain. A common mistake is using too much weight, which can compromise form; focus on controlled movements instead. Adjust pulleys to different heights to target various chest areas. Beginners should start with lighter weights, gradually increasing as form improves. Advanced users can incorporate drop sets or slow negatives for added intensity. Always engage the core and maintain a stable stance to prevent lower back strain.
