Cable Cross-Over Revers Fly

Stand in the middle of a cable machine. Set the pulleys to the lowest position. Grab one handle in each hand, palms facing down. Move your arms laterally out to the sides, keeping them slightly bent. Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you bring your arms back, then return to the starting position. Repeat for desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Cable Cross-Over Revers Fly

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Cable Cross-Over Revers Fly using your cable.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your rhomboids.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your rhomboids rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
