Cable Cross-Over Lateral Pulldown
The pulldown standing in a crossover, each hand holding the opposite high cable so the lines cross overhead; the handles finish beside the shoulders.
How to do it
Setup
Standing midway between the high pulleys, feet hip-width, hands crossed overhead on the opposite handles.
Steps
- Pull the handles down and apart to the sides of the shoulders.
- Squeeze the elbows toward the ribs at the bottom.
- Let the arms rise and cross again overhead with control.
Common mistakes
Leaning back to move the stacks: stand tall with lighter stacks. Stopping above the shoulders: the handles finish beside them. Cables snapping the arms up: control the whole way back to the cross.
Breathing
Exhale pulling down, inhale returning.
