  • how old is this guy? he's ripped!

  • Comment removed

  • that guy sounds like a square

  • not sure but are you leaning forward a bit?

  • The machine needs some oil.

  • Thumbs up for WD-40!

  • I like it how you always stare into my soul

  • if its called cable crossover, shouldn't you cross your hands instead of bringing them together ? 0.o

  • Aren't you supposed to bend at the elbows? Seems like this guy's locked straight arms would put a lot of unnecessary stress on the shoulders.

  • I see a lot of guys lunge out and use their body weight as most of the resistance. He didn't point this out in this video, but be sure to have a straight back with your chest sticking up and out!

  • Lol, "Bumgarner". 

  • lol this guy always sounds bored

  • thanks man.

  • you use cables?

  • thank u so much for this.

  • these r flys

  • You forgot to mention maintaining a slight bend in the elbow in order to remove the tension off it, this way you will cause lots of stress on your elbow joint and once you start lifting heavier weights, one day you'll seriously injure yourself on the pullback

  • nice thanks man

  • wherez the crossover bro?

  • VERY GOOD TEACH

  • right now im gonna show you how to train chest, by training chest..

  • Dont take off with ure straight arms! u get more connection to the chest if u have slightly bended arms

  • For all the ' know-it-alls' commenting... the dude is articulate, being straight forward and diciplined. This vid is for advanced body-builders AND 'dummies' alike.

    The 'cross-over' in the name refers to crossing the centerline of the deltoid group, not 'crossing your hands, boneheads.

    This IS the correct way of doing cable crossovers. Many of you have no idea of how badly you can injure yourself when doing some of these things incorrectly.

    Carry on livestrong. Nicely done.

  • I have my arms slightly bent. Perhaps too much weight. I'll try them this way.

  • Lmao @Scott

  • a cable crossover using ..... CABLES

  • I hate to point it out but this is not how to do cable crossovers...

    cable "crossovers" require the hands to cross each other, not simply meeting in the middle. by all means you can do it like this but to maximise muscle gain, cross the arms to form a small X when pulling them through

  • @perrywilliams True bud. Ive just seen another video saying "cable cross overs" but the hands don't cross over, lol

  • Good video! :)

  • P.S. - I'm not being sarcastic.

  • Wow thanks for this. I've been doing them wrong for years.  I feel like a moron now.

  • thx for the vid short and to the point

    does this work out the middle of ur pecs?

  • can you do this with dumbbells instead of cables?

  • Thankyou for the video, it was short and precise.

  • @sylar1717 I hate them too, but they keep youtube free..

  • gotcha thanks man

  • emm..but it's not a crossover.

  • nice!! vid keep them coming

  • im having trouble keeping my elbows straight.. i always bend them... any help?

  • @epraht8 Its natural to have a slight bend in your elbows, this stops you from putting pressure on the joints. Locking out your elbows in any weight exercise is dangerous!

  • is there a way to do cable crossovers without using cables? lol

  • @CJFrasher

    Yes - with free weights

  • @caseuno2 right but where is there a cable involved with free weights is what i'm saying......

  • bumgardner is a valid last name?

  • @rockyqw12 hahahahahahahaha xD

  • wat about dat der dumbulls

  • oh i was doing them wrong i forgot the cables..

  • oh i was doing them wrong i forgot the cables..

  • wow i've been doing this WRONG haha now i know tho

  • Online Asian wife search lushfmlk.info

  • im not watching this 2o learn about excersizing(X

  • i thought you weren't supposed to bring your arms that far back?

  • Don't follow this,

    He's doing it wrong, its called a cable CROSSOVER for a reason

  • can i do it using only one machine? my gym doesnt have the cable machines in front of each other :(

  • this guy i one of the few on youtube who know's what he's doing

  • ...to the middle of your chest, squeak, whooooo, exhale, inhale on the way back, sniff, squeak, exhale, squeak...

  • "Notice I'm not swinging the weights or moving very fast." Yeah, cause you're using twenty pounds on each side. Lets try for something called "Strength Training" next time.

  • i hate this sissy way of workout.. b a man and nail the machine

  • Must have paid someone else to get his CPT license because he has absolutely no clue how to do this movement correctly. Must have watched the "How to NOT to do cable crossovers" too many times. LOL !

  • some crazy old guy with long white hair at my gym swings from side to side moaning and breathing heavily--funny as hell

  • Sorry to break it to you livestrong.... But A cable cross over is done just like it sounds you cross the cables over once your hands meet! Please if you want to make instructional videos show the proper full range of motion. Remember while doing a cross over the hands cross over then the chest contracts to the fullest range!

  • lol seriously ppl.. nothing shameful about doing cable crossovers. I do 'em on each chest workout and they do an amazing job on my chest.

  • im worried I'll do these wrong in the gym and everyone will laugh at me....so i avoid them.

  • @TheBlingblingbros Me too!

  • Tnx mate!

  • Where's the crossover? Aren't these just standing cable flies?

  • Great video! I wish more videos were as informative and actually correct like yours is. Thanks!

  • anybody other than #VIDEOPOSTERID# tried the nba training program for dunking and shooting? Even players like Kobe have made use of it before. If you have no clue what I'm saying, just check it out urself 50inch vertical[dot]com
