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
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using too much weight and losing control of movement
- Bending elbows excessively during the crossover
- Leaning forward or backward instead of staying upright
- Rushing the negative portion of the movement
- Not maintaining tension in the stretched position
