only 110lb twinks do cable cross overs
true story
-
Once Ron added the "Big" to my name, I only do hammer strength seated chest press, where I turn my body sideways on the chair and do one arm at the time.
Try it, wicked squeeze.

I work them in with a heavyish flye some weeks..there good to superset with dips or pushups..

You forgot "no homo" when mentioning "cable crossovers" (no homo).

Mostly, I don't like them because I don't have them in my gym. I do have a bunch of bands (no homo)
-
I don't do them because my boobs bounce all over the place (muscle is underneath implants) and it distracts not only myself but others in the gym.

I am kinda distracted just thinking about it.

No bullshit? I've seen some twinks do this, but i figured it was some gimmicky balonie
-
they isolate the pecs way better than bench press and after all thats the muscle you're supposed to be working.

Every time somebody uses the GH15 spelling of "balonie", I laugh.

I use them when there's no decline benches in the gym, palms facing down and bring down from my side and lock low just infront of my pipi....really hit the lower pecs...gotta get that lower chest sweep/hang on the chest, girls love it* ;D
Gay men too if that floats yer boat

Being one of the bigger guys here, I would not joke about matters regarding hypertrophy.
This is the real deal.

yes Steve nothing wrong with supersets, Dips with push ups to failure. Cable crossovers in my opinion are really for way advanced guys. Vince Gironda did them in a Special decline bench he made. He also liked Dips. Had a great chest in my opinion. itīs like saying you have to Bench to get a good chest..load of rubbish. bill Pearl who had a great chest and Overall size wrote, " although the bench press is a great asset in increasing power, i believe it is considerably overrated as a chest developer exercise...i have found that the best exercises for pectoral development are: bent arm laterals,chest-cross overs,incline presses,decline movements and flyes"
-
Every newbie asking me for a good pec exercise is sent to do cable crossovers immediately. I never do them myself. None of them have questioned me about this yet.

yeah because they see big guys doing them but do not realise the "meat on the Bones" was built through Basics. However things are changing and i put guys now on a very solid and Basic Routine. Just a few exercises.

can you explain how a muscle knows what exercise its doing please?
Muscles only know stress, stress the muscle and it will respond regardless of the exercise.

Why... there are no pretty girls in your gym to look at you fat cow ?

I think you missed something in my post. Irony maybe.

The 4$99 monthly entrance fee doesn't really bring the cream of the crop.

very true but the overload provided with Parallel bar Dips or Benches( in any form is superior). You will not get a chest like an advanced Trainer with just crossovers. Infact i would not even recommend them untill maybe 1.5 years hard Training. Cables do give a constant resistance. mass they will not build unless integrated in a Programme like Steve wrote...even then for only advanced Trainers.
-
I do not even use them myself because i am still struggling to be Advanced... ;D

When you use machines you dont work the the stabilizer muscles and this can lead to injury in the long run, free weights are a must in any workout program.

agreed, but you can isloate the pec far better with a cable than you can bench pressing.
In fact I use a power band attached at shoulder length to do 1 arm flys.
Tension on the chest is unbelievable.

A good spotter can get them under control.

This... but you would be surprised at how many guys come in the Gym and want to "Bench hard".. you Show them and they struggle because they have never used the stabilizing muscles like this...give them dB flyes and it gets worse. i actually had a guy who had Trouble benching 40kg on the flat bench. He just could not get it and so he had to do machine press. Also as i wrote before on here had a guy double my size but fat you was weak as fuck. was funny.

The only smoke you get comes from her needy genitals. And you don't want to be exposed to it.

Cant even use them at my gym, there is always a line longer then the waiting line at the treadmill machines of 120 lb tiny tits waiting to do bicep curls on it

I got more growth in my pecs from a few months of doing a well thought out crossover routine than i did from YEARS of benching (just about every variation you can think of).... benching is primarily delts and tris and the chest only helps a little. The worst developed bodypart I see in gyms is the pecs and yet everybody benches... think about it.

Fuckin hella gay. Gotta love the twinks with the 13 inch pipe cleaners that try this during the busiest time at the gym.
-

Dips are about the only pressing move i do for chest now and i do them gironda style, great for pec/shoulder tie in, but still leaves other areas lacking. As a bodybuilder your goal should be to isolate the target muscle as best you can and the vast majority of pressing movements do not do that for the chest what so ever.

Gironda had his way but i like parallel Bars. If you do Dips 100% the way it should be done you do not Need incline work.

Awwww Jesus, I do those about every chest workout. I thought there was a difference between cable flyes and crossovers, but I guess not. I guess I'm just another cable crossover twink. I'd never take up both sides of a multi-station cable machine though.

Why do bodybuilding videos always have shitty metal music in the background? Why can't they just show it with the people training and nothing else?

Training pecs in general is just totally gay.

Was that fag on the jason genova video correct when he said to touch elbows on canle flys?

Don't make eye contact with the weights and you're safe.

If chest happens to fall on a Sunday afternoon I might do them but at the time I normally train not a hope of getting both cables. Can't do many pressing movements at the moment because of shoulder so they would be nice but not waiting +2mins to do an exercise.
-

Haha, yes it is. If there's a gayest body part to train it is definite pecs.

Training the adductors in that machine that looks like a gynecologist's chair is definitely gayer.
-
I really enjoy cable crossovers and find them to be a good finishing movement, love the squeeze. :-X :-\
-
I did cable crossovers today at the end of my chest workout but that was the exception - just to do something different for a change. Normally I don't do them as I don't feel they work very well. Much prefer the pec-deck we have in our gym - can get a much better squeeze and stretch and it feels like more of the chest is being worked.
-

That's the inner struggle I have. They're gay, but they add thickness to my quads.

Physio told me to do them. Just did wide stance squats. Can't squat now but in my new gym the gee press as we call it (gee = vagina) is only in women's area. Sorry IT band but not worth it.

There's an alternative version. Sit on a bench between a cable crossover, grab both cables and place your hands between your knees.
Sumo like squats are -contrary to common belief- not that effective for the adductors, see http://www.ergo-log.com/squatsadductors.html

I probably need more patience but after getting injured any time I squatted I just gave up and started doing lunges/leg press and leg extensions. I'm paying out E250 min on physio for my shoulder now, squat issue is tight extensors and knees so really don't feel like paying tons of physio with a holiday coming up.
Kind of derailing thread but tangent is a Greek word...

If you got injured squatting it simply means that you where using improper form,use lighter weights and higher reps put on a lifting belt and practice your form.

Strictly anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt, but I get the greatest amount of gay thoughts and imagery whenever I train pecs.
Coincidence? You tell me.

I've been doing them on a regular basis the last several years. They're a real shoulder saver. I'll superset pushups w/crossovers, then superset pushups w/a pressing movement. My shoulders haven't felt this good since my 20's and i have commendable chest development. If you're in this for longevity, reduce the heaving pressing and add some crossover/fly work. You're elbows and shoulders will thank you.
