Crosses On Incline Bench To Cables: Execution
The starting position sees the athlete seated on a bench inclined at 20° and 45°, with his back in his strength position, legs apart and feet firmly resting on the ground behind the knees to help maintain the three natural curves of the back and to support weight more effectively. The elbows are slightly flexed, the wrists straight or flexed, and the shoulders are extended and partially adducted in different proportions depending on the incline of the bench. The handles are held at the same height as the sternum with a neutral grip. The execution consists in flexing and abducting the shoulders so that the handles trace an arc of a circle on the same vertical plane perpendicular to the floor (not to the bench) on which they were at the start.
