SEATED CABLE CROSSOVER

Contractor pectoral con poleas sentado

STARTING POSITION:

Place a bench between two pulleys and sit with your back to the pulleys. Place the pulleys in a position around your chest height. Select the appropriate resistance in the weight stack. Grab the handles of the pulleys and move your hands together (with the palms facing each other) in front of you. Your elbows should be slightly bent and your hands should be slightly under your shoulders. Contract your pelvic floor and core.

MOVEMENT:

Start opening your arms to the sides until they make a straight line, preventing moving weights from touching the rest of the stack. Inhale during the movement. Using your pectoral muscles, return to the starting position in a strong movement while you exhale.

TIPS: The exercise key is quality over quantity. The trick is to perform the exercise using proper form. Your arms' line should always match the line of the pulleys. While your are doing the exercise, move only the shoulder joint, make sure you don't move any other part of your body. During the opening, focus on slow and controlled movement.
