How to Do the Perfect Cable Crossover (Complete Guide)

Perfect Cable Crossover Technique

The cable crossover provides exceptional chest isolation with constant tension throughout the movement. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures optimal cable height, body position, and crossover technique for maximum muscle activation.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

Cable Setup:Set cables at shoulder height or slightly above
Starting Position:Stand in center with one foot forward for stability
Grip:Grasp handles with slight bend in elbows, palms down
Crossover Motion:Bring handles together in wide arc across body
Peak Contraction:Cross handles slightly past midline, squeeze chest
Return:Slowly return to starting position maintaining arc motion
