Cable Crossover

The Cable Crossover is a great exercise which keeps constant tension on the pecs. Start by stepping forward a little so you can use more weight. Remember that the movement is a round motion & not a pressing motion; like hugging an oak tree. Keep your back flat & your chest & chin up. Keep the movement slow and controlled throughout to maintain tension on the chest throughout each repetition. As the cable crossover is an isolation exercise, ensure that you perform any compound (multi-joint) exercises first. Done correctly, this exercise can help you develop the chest (pecs). Make sure that you keep the motion slow and controlled, and that you really squeeze and contract the muscle at the peak of the movement.
