Hey there! Please do icing or ice massage for pain. Your muscle will heal via taking it's own time. Take rest and apply DFO gel if needed.
Remember to do proper warm up, cardio, before doing strengthening exercises. Such injuries, as yours, often occur due to lack of body preparation for strenuous exercise. You should always prepare your body by warming up. You should also involve cool down post exercise and take a bath post cool down which sounds low but is an important thing to normalize all bodily processes and then you are ready for other works. This also prevents injury.
Next Steps
Do icing and give rest.
Health Tips
while doing cable cross over, there is an point to remember which is your posture and bodily alignment. Keep this in mind.
