How to do the Cable Iron Cross

  1. 1

    Begin by moving the pulleys to the high position, select the resistance to be used, and take a handle in each hand.

  2. 2

    Stand directly between both pulleys with your arms extended out to your sides. Your head and chest should be up while your arms form a "T". This will be your starting position.

  3. 3

    Keeping the elbows extended, pull your arms straight to your sides.

  4. 4

    Return your arms back to the starting position after a pause at the peak contraction.

  5. 5

    Continue the movement for the prescribed number of repetitions.
