Machine Standing Pec Fly
The pec deck done standing: the machine's arms are swept together in front of the chest while the trunk holds itself upright without a backrest.
How to do it
Setup
Standing at the machine, arms out wide at shoulder height on the handles, elbows soft.
Steps
- Draw the machine's arms in until the hands meet in front.
- Hold the squeeze without leaning into it.
- Return the arms to the start, stopping short of a deep stretch.
Common mistakes
Leaning forward to finish the rep: stand tall; the arms do the arc. Shrugging as the arms close: shoulders down. Letting the weight yank the arms open: a slow return.
Breathing
Exhale on the squeeze, inhale opening.
