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.

While many regular gym-goers have a range of traditional chest exercises that certainly do the job, they likely won’t be sufficient if you’re looking for significant growth. Here are some alternative chest exercises that you may not have tried that are sure to give you an enormous pump like never before.

Glute Bridge Floor Press

Lie flat on your back before lifting your knees, ensuring that your core and hips are engaged and create a straight line. As you perform your chest press, not only will you work your chest and shoulders, but you’ll condition your core and glutes, giving you a well-rounded workout for large sections of your body. You’ll also get a full range of motion as you work your chest.

Back Supported Cable Fly

While regular chest flies are an effective workout, they come with the risk of serious shoulder injury due to the extent of your shoulder and chest extension. By using cables and a bench, you can provide extra support to your chest and shoulders.

Band Resisted Dumbbell Press

Despite how effective the chest press is on its own, you can add an extra challenge by combining your dumbbells with resistance bands. This will make you not only develop a stronger chest but also help you develop control as you look to maintain your posture and technique as the resistance bands work against you.

Do you dream of developing a powerful, round chest? Then bench press is your ideal workout. Here are some chest exercises that will help you improve your ability to do bench press and increase the weight you can lift as you chase your fitness goals.

Half-Kneeling Overhead Press

Bench press is about more than flinging a heavy barbell into the air. In order to perform this exercise correctly and get the full benefit, you’ll need balance and control. A half-kneeling overhead press can help you improve your core stability while strengthening your shoulders, thereby helping you overcome shoulder strains that impair your ability to do bench press.

Floor Press

Lie down flat on the floor and proceed to do a traditional chest press with dumbbells. In addition to keeping your shoulders safe, this variation of chest press helps to condition your chest and triceps, improving your ability to perform the “lockout” segment of your bench press.

Chest-Supported Incline Row

The pulling motion of this exercise helps to condition your back while strengthening your posterior chain. While you may not realize it, your lats play a major role in stabilizing your body during bench press. The moment you don’t have a solid posterior chain, you can cause excessive stress on your chest as you lift the barbell into the air during bench press.

Notes On The Workout

You should do each of the workouts twice a week only. You need to give yourself 2-3 days to recover from each workout, so don’t do them back to back.

Gently increase the weight on each successive set of reps for any exercise to get the most benefit from this routine.

You’ll be so pleased with the results in 6 weeks time. Your chest will be in much better shape.
