intermediateCable Machineisolation

Form Cues

  1. 1

    Set cables low, sweep arms upward and together at an incline angle

  2. 2

    Feel the upper chest stretch at the bottom and squeeze at the top

  3. 3

    Keep a fixed, slight bend in the elbows throughout the arc

  4. 4

    Use a staggered stance for a stable base against the cable pull

Common Mistakes

  • ●

    Crossing the arms too far at the top — stop when hands meet to avoid shoulder impingement

  • ●

    Using too much weight, shortening the range and turning the fly into a partial press

  • ●

    Rushing the return instead of controlling the stretch back to the start

Equipment Variations

  • ▸

    Dumbbell incline fly

  • ▸

    Cable fly low to high for similar upper chest focus
