Cable Crossover

With the pulleys set high, grab both handles and step forward. Keep a slight elbow bend and let the motion come only from the shoulder joint.

Sequência

01 · setup
To get yourself into the starting position, place the pulleys on a high position (above your head), select the resistance to be used and hold the pulleys in each hand.
02 · stance
Step forward in front of an imaginary straight line between both pulleys while pulling your arms together in front of you. Your torso should have a small forward bend from the waist. This will be your starting position.
03 · open
With a slight bend on your elbows in order to prevent stress at the biceps tendon, extend your arms to the side (straight out at both sides) in a wide arc until you feel a stretch on your chest. Breathe in as you perform this portion of the movement. Tip: Keep in mind that throughout the movement, the arms and torso should remain stationary; the movement should only occur at the shoulder joint.
04 · bring together
Return your arms back to the starting position as you breathe out. Make sure to use the same arc of motion used to lower the weights.
05 · hold, repeat
Hold for a second at the starting position and repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.
