Explanation:
拉下两边把手至大腿前(压迫胸肌)

Clearly, there's no straightforward translatin for this one but the followings should provide clues for a possible interpretation.


**Interestingly, according to this site (you can see some pics here):

• Cable Crossovers are incorrectly named. You never actually cross the cables over, as this will take the emphasis off the chest and transfer it onto the Deltoids. This is because the chest muscles stop working after they come into the mid line of the body. When you go beyond this point you are simply using other muscles to force the chest together.


**This workout guide here again explains that “cross” really means just pulling together the arms downwards so that they “touch” each other:

The anterior deltoid at the front of your shoulder as well as the smaller coracobrachialis, which lies on your upper arm near your shoulder joint, assists in moving your upper arm forward and across your torso. Located on the side of your ribs, the serratus anterior connects to the scapula, providing more range of motion as your arms come together or cross in the bottom position.

Cable Crossover
Cable Crossover是一个非常好的胸肌锻链动作,它不但是一个锻链轮廓的动作,更加对外胸肌及内胸肌尤其有效。
抓紧两边把手。
立正身体,双臂放松,手心向地。
上身微微向前倾斜,慢慢而顺滑地拉下,直至双手在大腿前互碰。
用力压迫胸肌约一秒,慢慢回到起始点。
要点:确定双手在低点要互碰,过程中手肘保持微曲



Cable crossover machine = 夹胸器

In one of the pictures here, the guy was probably doing the "crossover" with one arm at a time.

In that case, "cross" would need a different definition (other than "putting arms together" as mentioned in the 2 English sources) -- perhaps like "pull arm across one side of the body" (which is unfortunately just speculative on my part). I've not seen such explanations so far.

a one-armed version of the expression:

以单臂拉把手至大腿(或胸)前(压迫胸肌)

Only one side of the chest muscles will get exercised in that case.
