intermediateCable Machineisolation

Form Cues

  1. 1

    Set cables above head height, step forward, sweep arms down and together in an arc finishing at hip level

  2. 2

    Maintain slight elbow bend throughout

  3. 3

    Keep a staggered stance for stability against the downward cable pull

  4. 4

    Squeeze the lower chest at the bottom before returning under control

Common Mistakes

  • ●

    Using too much weight causing uncontrolled movement — cables should move in a smooth arc not a jerky downward pull

  • ●

    Bending the elbows more as the set fatigues — keep the arc consistent throughout

  • ●

    Letting the cables snap back on the return instead of resisting them the whole way up

Equipment Variations

  • ▸

    Dumbbell decline fly

  • ▸

    Resistance band fly anchored high
