One armed cable crossover?
Can you do one armed cable crossovers if you just have a regular cable set up? I don't have a cable crossover machine but i do have regular cables and have been using them to do one arm at a time for cable crossovers. By the time i do them my chest is already pretty burnt but i can usually feel it a bit. Am i wasting my time or would this exercise be worth keeping?

I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

I wouldn't say they're a waist of time but like LAM said, rotate the flies and crossovers.
Cool

Re: One armed cable crossover?
Destram, are talkin' about a regular lat pull cable setup. If so, I would think it would be pretty tough to get into the right position for that. Let me know cause that's all I have right now.Originally posted by Destram

I've got a set up like that at home, I have to stand on a chair to get the right angle, kind of strange, thats another reason I like going to the gym.

No its not the lat pull cable, that is on the other side of the machine. My dad used to work at a local college and they were selling a bunch of their old machines really cheap, he got one with two adjustable bench machines, a lat pull down cable, and 2 cables that have low and high mounts (about eye level high and on the floor for the low), a chin bar and a bunch of different bars for pulldowns, pushdowns, curls etc for like 100 dollars. The brand is Marcy but since i know nothing about name brand weights/weight machines. It was a real biatch moving it all downstairs but its really nice to have. I use the cable mounts that are at about eye level and stand about 3 feet away from them.

I was thinking about it and I think you'd need both cables to get the right squeeze, not that it wouldn't be worth doing but I think it wouldn't be the same cause you can't squeeze at the middle.

Yeah i figured that too. I squeeze in the middle by bringing my other arm down that is without weight like im doing a regular cable crossover and squeezing, but it would be better to have the actual set up im sure.Originally posted by Scotty the Body
