Cable Decline Fly

The cable fly on a decline bench between the low pulleys; the head-down angle and the steady cable pull load the lower chest.

How to do it

Setup

Decline bench between the low pulleys, legs hooked, arms out wide, elbows soft.

Steps

Arc the handles up until they meet over the lower chest.
Squeeze there while the cables still pull.
Open the arms wide again under control.

Common mistakes

Handles drifting toward the face: on a decline they meet over the LOWER chest. Pressing instead of arcing: keep the elbow angle. Letting the stacks drop between reps: tension stays on.

Breathing

Exhale on the squeeze, inhale opening.
