Seated Arm Crossover on a Chair
The arm crossover done seated on a chair; the seat keeps the trunk still for anyone who trains sitting.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on the front half of a chair, feet flat, arms out to the sides at shoulder height.
Steps
- Cross the arms in front of the chest, the left one on top.
- Open them wide again, chest lifted.
- Cross with the right on top next time; keep alternating.
Common mistakes
Letting the hands drop as they cross: they pass at chest height. Slumping on the chair: sit on its front half, tall. Swinging hard from the start: build the range over the first reps.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
