FLAT BENCH CABLE CROSSOVERS

PURPOSE OF EXERCISE: To develop and
define the middle and inner pectoral
muscles.
EXECUTION: (1) Lie on a flat bench
between two floor-level pulleys. Take a
handle in each hand and bring your
hands together at arm’s length above
you, palms facing each other. (2) With
your elbows slightly bent, lower your
hands out to either side in a wide arc
until your pectorals are fully stretched.
Bring your arms back toward the starting
position, passing through the same
sweeping arc as if giving a big hug. You
can stop at the top or continue on and
cross your arms over slightly to create
the fullest possible contraction of the
pectorals.
