Cable Crossover Alternative?
I am a home gymmer and I have a lot of equipment, but no cables. I have a barbell, squat rack, dumbbells up to 75 lbs, bench, leg extension, leg curls, hyperextension bench, pull up bar, treadmill, ex bike, etc... anyway, I really like cable crossovers and was wondering an alternative exercise I could do for similar results.
Before anyone suggests buying or making a cable machine, that's not an option because my gym is jam packed.
The only thing I can think of is maybe sitting on an incline with dumbbells and crossing them over..?
Any suggestions would be great, also lat pulldown alternatives if anyone has some... (currently doing barbell/dumbbell rows, assisted pull ups)

there is an exercise which is an alt to cable crossovers. you take a set of light dumbbells a hold them over head as if you were doing a flyes. you perform a flye but when you come up you cross your arms as much as you can feeling a squeeze. it is a good alt to cable crossovers. you can find this exercise in bill pearls keys to the inner universe the bible for bodybuilding.
