]]> In addition to being challenging, the cable crossover strengthens your chest muscles while also testing your flexibility and control, making it the ultimate chest workout. Still, it can be easier than you expect to make errors with this exercise, limiting the benefits you enjoy in the process. Here’s how to perfect your cable crossover for optimal chest gains.

Set It Up

To ensure that you perform chest crossovers accurately, it’s crucial to start off the right way. Set up your bench in the middle of the cables. Adjust it to the highest setting while dropping the cable height to its lowest. Make sure to lean on the bench for stability as you begin the workout.

The Process

Grab the handles and ensure that your shoulders are off the top of the bench while doing so. Lean back slightly to open your chest and keep your elbows slightly bent. Bring the arms together, leading with your pinky fingers. Once your hands are an inch or so apart, lower back down gradually, maintaining your form.

When To Do This

In order to get the most out of chest crossovers, make sure to incorporate them into your workout at the opportune time. Typically, this would be near the end of your workout on either chest or upper body day if you exercise several muscle groups in one training session.

]]> By challenging your control, and strength and sculpting your posture, cable exercises are a wholesome form of workout. What’s more, they’re particularly useful for developing powerful triceps. Here are some of the most effective cable exercises to sculpt your triceps.

Triceps Pushdown

For this workout, you’ll need to use the cable pulley up top. Face the machine and stand two feet away with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the rope handle at the base and keep your elbows locked into your sides. Lower the cables and extend your elbows until fully extended. Return to the starting position.

Overhead Tricep Extension

Stand with your back to the machine. Grab the pulley on the bottom and hold the handles behind your head. Pull the cable upwards until your arms are extended and then return to the start. You can also perform this exercise with a dumbbell if a cable machine is not available.

Triceps Kickback

Using the pulley below, grab the handles and stand three feet away from the machine. Bend your back over, keeping your core engaged, and bend your knees slightly. Make sure your elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle and pull the cable back before returning to the starting position. If you struggle to extend fully, then perform this workout with dumbbells.
