How to perform it
- Begin by moving the pulleys to the high position, select the resistance to be used, and take a handle in each hand.
- 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.
- Keeping the elbows extended, pull your arms straight to your sides.
- Return your arms back to the starting position after a pause at the peak contraction.
- Continue the movement for the prescribed number of repetitions.

The Cable Iron Cross primarily targets your Chest. You'll need cable.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Cable Iron Cross slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
