Cable Fly
Constant-tension chest isolation from the cables.
What it works
Chest
How to do it
- 1Set both pulleys high (or low for an upward fly), take a handle in each hand, and step forward into a split stance with a slight forward lean.
- 2With a fixed soft elbow bend, bring the handles together in front of you and squeeze.
- 3Cables keep tension on the chest at the top, which dumbbells lose — pause there.
Cues that matter
- ›Slight forward lean
- ›Meet in front of the chest
- ›Constant tension throughout
