Crossover Cable

Form Cues

  • Set both cable pulleys to the lowest position and attach a D-handle to each.

  • Stand between the two cable towers with your back to the pulleys.

  • Grab each handle with the same-side hand so the cables run from behind you forward.

  • Start with arms at your sides, handles at hip level behind you, slight bend in the elbows.

  • Raise both arms forward and up simultaneously in a controlled arc until they reach shoulder height.

  • Keep your arms nearly straight throughout — only a slight bend in the elbow.

  • Squeeze the front delts at the top.

  • Lower with control, resisting the pull of the cables back to the starting position.

  • Keep your torso upright — do not lean back to counterbalance.

  • The bilateral cable setup gives continuous tension through the full range, with the cable angle behind you making the start more demanding than dumbbells.
