Cable Lying Fly
The flat-bench fly between the low pulleys; unlike dumbbells, the cables keep pulling at the top, where the arms meet.
How to do it
Setup
Flat bench centered between the low pulleys, a handle in each hand, arms wide.
Steps
- Close the arms until the handles touch above the chest.
- Pause with the cables still pulling outward.
- Lower the arms out wide to a light stretch.
Common mistakes
Arms dropping below the bench: the stretch stops at shoulder level. Bench off-center: the cables pull unevenly; center it. Elbows bending into a press: keep them soft and fixed.
Breathing
Exhale on the squeeze, inhale opening.
