Evidence Summary
Very limited peer-reviewed direct evidence on cable crossover specifically. 'Inner chest' claims are mostly mechanistic and supported by non-peer-reviewed EMG reports.
Evidence Type: RCTs
Health Benefits
Reasonable chest exercise based on general resistance training principles.
Cosmetic Benefits
D for 'inner chest definition' claim. B- for 'reasonable pec hypertrophy exercise' based on mechanistic inference.
How It Works
Cable vector can match desired fiber direction and maintains tension through ROM. 'Inner chest' is not a separate muscle; it's pec major inserting near sternum.
Contraindications & Safety
Commonly cited EMG source isn't clearly peer-reviewed. If database needs strict hierarchy, label conservatively.
