cable crossover

Dual pulley exercise

A cable crossover is a strength training exercise performed on a cable machine, pulling handles from opposite sides across the body to target the chest muscles.

The movement mimics a hugging motion: She finished her chest workout with cable crossovers.

The term also names the machine itself, which has adjustable pulleys on both sides.
