M.E TRAINING CABLE CROSSOVER SHANTI’S FORM TIP: While standing, grab each high pulley using a small one-hand attachment for each hand. The position your body will be in will look like a giant “T”. Bring your arms together in a slow, controlled fashion. While doing so, visualise yourself hugging a giant tree trunk. WHEN SHANTI DOES THIS: I do this at the end of my chest workout to get that extra pump and separation. BENT OVER DUMBBELL ROW SHANTI’S FORM TIP: Grab a dumbbell and position yourself on a bench so that the knee and arm of the same side is on the bench. The other leg is anchored into the ground, while the hand of the same side grips the dumbbell on the floor. Lift or row the dumbbell up into around chest height, or until the back of your arm is slightly higher than your torso. Really focus on using your back muscles here and do not allow your body to swing – keep yourself steady. WHEN SHANTI DOES THIS: I usually do three working sets as part of my back workout. 36 Muscle Evolution
