The Lower Cable Fly Crossover exercise is a variation of the traditional cable fly exercise that targets the lower chest muscles. This exercise involves using two cable machines with handles positioned at a lower height compared to the standard cable fly exercise.
How to perform
To perform the Lower Cable Fly Crossover exercise, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Adjust the handles on two cable machines to the lowest position available.
2. Stand in the middle of the cable machines and grab the handles with an overhand grip.
3. Take a step back to create tension in the cables.
4. Engage your core and keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the exercise.
5. Bring the handles together in front of you in a controlled motion, crossing them over each other at the midpoint.
6. Squeeze your chest muscles as you bring the handles together.
7. Slowly return the handles back to the starting position, maintaining control and resistance in the movement.
8. Perform the desired number of repetitions for this exercise.
This exercise can also be performed with a single cable machine by alternating sides with each repetition. Adjust the weight on the machine to match your fitness level and always maintain proper form to prevent injury and maximize effectiveness.

This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
