    How to Perform

    1. 1

      Attach a D-handle to each low pulley cable and stand in the middle of the cable crossover machine.

    3. 3

      Bend your knees slightly and lean forward at the waist, keeping your back straight and your abs engaged.

    4. 4

      With your arms extended out to the sides and slightly bent at the elbows, exhale and squeeze your shoulder blades together as you pull the cables back and upward in a reverse fly motion.

    5. 5

      Pause for a moment at the peak contraction, then inhale and slowly return to the starting position.

    6. 6

      Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
