Cable Crossover Lateral Pulldown

Expert Advice

Keep your torso stationary and pull with your lats rather than your arms to maximize lat engagement.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand in the center of a cable crossover station with the pulleys set above your head.
  2. Grab each handle with the opposite hand (right hand grabs left pulley and vice versa).
  3. With a slight bend in your elbows, pull the handles down and across your body to hip level.
  4. Slowly return the handles back to the starting position with control.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
