How Do You Work The Shoulder With Cable Standing Cross Row?
There are a multitude of weight lifting exercises to help develop your shoulders. One exercise, the cable standing cross row, builds the posterior deltoid muscle. Building a muscle along all of its faces is important from an esthetic standpoint. To properly strengthen and build a particular muscle you will choose many different exercises. By executing this variety of exercises, the development of your muscle will be uniform. Raise the pulley to a height even with your shoulders. Changing the angle of the pulley with reference to your body and the direction you are pulling will change the muscle group that you are developing. If the pulley system is set to low, you will be bringing in another muscle. It is best, when possible, to isolate each muscle with an exercise. Position your body between the two pulleys with the handles grasped one in each hand. Take a step back and be sure that the extension of your arm is about 30 to 45 degrees off the center line that connects the two pulleys.
