Cable Chest Fly

Key Points

  • Adjust to shoulder height and grab grips.
  • Push hands in a wide arc until they almost meet.
  • Slowly retract in the same arc back to start and repeat.

Common Mistakes

  • Elbows coming too far behind shoulders.
  • Pressing instead of using an arc motion.
  • Swaying body for momentum.

Where you should 'feel it':

Primary Muscles:
Chest
Secondary Muscles

Adjust both cables to be at shoulder height. Hold both handles so that your palms are facing inwards and step forward to keep one leg in front the other for stability. Start with your elbows slightly bent in line with the shoulders.

Push your hands together in wide arcs until they almost reach each other, then slowly retract back the same path to the starting position. Your hands path should remain below the lower chest during the movement. Brace your core to keep a straight torso throughout. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.

Avoid allowing the elbows to come too far behind the shoulders.
