Omni Cable Cross-over

Body Part: Chest

Target Muscles: Chest

Equipment: Cable machine, SZ-Bar

Instructions

Step 1. Adjust the weights based on the

Step 2. motion. When pulling from top to bottom, increase the weight by 20% to 40%

Step 3. more than the bottom-to-top motion. This accounts for the fact that when

Step 4. operating from top down, the upper chest muscles are naturally weaker than

Step 5. the lower chest muscles. So, adjust your weight stack to

Step 6. compensate.

Step 7. - Position one cable at a high

Step 8. setting and the other at the lowest level setting. Get into a staggered

Step 9. stance in between the cable towers.

Step 10. - For the cable set low, pull it

Step 11. upward and across your body. This effectively targets the upper chest.

Step 12. - For the cable set high, draw it

Step 13. downward and across your body. This will primarily engage the lower chest.

Step 14. Once you’re done, swap the

Step 15. positions of the cables. Change the previously high cable to the lowest

Step 16. position and vice versa. Repeat the exercise sequence, ensuring you’re

Step 17. targeting both chest regions effectively.
