How to Do Cable Fly Low to High
Form Cues
- 1
Set cables at ankle height, step forward, sweep arms up and together in an arc finishing above chest height
- 2
Slight elbow bend throughout
- 3
Keep a staggered stance for stability as you sweep the cables upward
- 4
Squeeze the chest hard at the top before returning slowly
Common Mistakes
- ●
Bending the elbows too much — this turns it into a press, keep arms nearly straight to maximize chest stretch and contraction
- ●
Using too much weight, causing an uncontrolled, jerky arc instead of a smooth sweep
- ●
Stopping the arc too low, missing the full contraction at the top
Equipment Variations
- ▸
Dumbbell chest fly on flat bench
- ▸
Resistance band fly as alternative
