LANCE BUMGARNER: Right now, I am going to show you how to do cable crossovers using cables. You have a D-handle. This right here is a D-handle. You are going to attach that to the upper part of the cable system here. Adjust the weights based on your fitness needs. This exercise is going to be working primarily your chest muscles with a little bit of your anterior deltoid that is going to be involved as well. I am going to grip the handles, come to the center. You are going to stagger your feet, bend forward, keep your back nice and straight, keep your palms facing out. You are going to bring your hands straight around to the middle of your chest, exhale, inhale on the way back, exhale, maintain proper form. Notice I am not swinging the weights or moving very, very fast, but I am doing this exercise in a smooth and controlled manner. After you complete this exercise, be careful, come back slowly, return the weights to the starting position. Just remember a few key points: you want to come to the middle of the cables; keep your back nice and straight; bring those arms straight around to the middle. This is working primarily your chest with your anterior deltoids. That is how to do cable crossovers.
