Even the flotsam should be able to spell exercise! Cable cross over is almost useless. Why? Well, when you use heavy weights it becomes dangerous. It is as useless as using a rope for triceps pressdowns.
Let me tell you that is a dangerous piece of equipment to use when you go heavy. I doubt many of the champs use it for size. That isn't the way Ray Mentzer recommended you hold your arms. This is a very unstable exercise and quite dangerous to control when heavy weights are used.
Smith Machine - usless piece of trash.
the cable crossover isnt a "mass builder". how heavy can you go? its impossible to use much more than yoru bodyweight, or else youd be pulling yourself up into the air, not pulling the weights up. how would it be dangerous? i think one would need to have some extremely horrible form to make it a dangerous exercise. the cable crossover is a good isolation exercise.
Who am I talking to here, a novice? I am telling you that once you get heavy you can't control the movement as it will want to go in other directions. That is when you can injure yourself.
Cable crossover station... Hate hate hate it million little guys 140 lbs some not even hit pubertyas yet everybody wants t do cable crossovers max holding up the cable station doing cable crossovers.... And old fat guys Not realising that is an advanced isolation movement which means you need to first have pecs.... So when a serious trainer like myself wants to do pressdowns it's full of guys lining up to do cable crossovers
The "yes/no" machine (as I like to call it). Only females should ever be allowed to use in the first place.
LOVE this calf machine. LOVE it.
i dont agree with this.. i believe that any exercise helps to build the muscle to a certain extent.. i dont buy this "isolation" thing!!.. same as when some ppl say when you do high reps it helps to define you muscles!!..
you didn't read what I typed I don't hate it because it's not effective I hate it because it's misused by morons... 140lbs no chests that movement is an advanced isololation movement meaning you have to have big pecs to see the benefit of using it in my gym you have 20 guys queinh up tapping away on there black berrys waiting to do 10 sets each on it
