Spider-Man Pushup
Spider-Man Pushup build strength throughout your upper body, especially in your triceps, forearms, deltoids, and upper pecs. This exercise can improve core strength and stability as well.
INTERMEDIATE
Cable Crossover
Cable Crossover targets the pectoralis major muscles' sternal heads, found in the bottom of your chest and activating muscles in your shoulder and back.
Instructions
- Start in a staggered position with your body in the middle of the two-arm machine, with the weight on either side of you.
- Adjust the straps so that they are slightly below shoulder level. Hold the handles so that the palms are facing forward and the arms are roughly parallel to the floor. Maintain a slight bend at the elbows.
- Tighten your chest muscles and join your hands in front of you, keeping a slight forward lean from the waist up. Pause and then slowly return to the starting position.
Tips
- Be sure to pause in the final position and tighten the pectoral muscles.
- Maintain a relatively high posture. Don't lean too far forward from your hips.
- Slowly return the handles to the starting position to feel the stretch in your chest.
