low cable crossover

The low cable crossover, also known as a low cable flye is an isolation movement that uses a cable stack to target the upper portion of the pectoral muscles. It is common in upper body and chest-focused muscle-building workouts, often in combination with presses or flyes from other angles to target all portions of the chest.

Low Cable Crossover Benefits:
  • Unlike dumbbells, cables provide constant tension, including at peak contraction
  • Ability to quickly switch weights for dropsets
  • Line of resistance from the cables targets the mucles of the upper pectorals
  • Stretches the chest mucles under load, which can lead to greater muscle gain
    • Type: Strength
    • Main Muscle Worked: Chest
    • Equipment: Cables
    • Level: Intermediate
