Cable Cross-Over Lateral Pulldown

Attach a cable handle to each side of a cable machine at shoulder height. Stand in the middle of the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip and step back to create tension in the cables. Lean forward slightly from the hips, keeping your back straight and your chest up. Pull the handles down and across your body, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
