Cable Lying Fly
The cable lying fly is a chest isolation exercise performed on a bench using cable machines. It targets the pectoral muscles and also engages the deltoids and triceps as secondary muscles. The movement involves lowering the arms in a wide arc and then bringing them back together, focusing on squeezing the chest.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Attach the handles to the cables and lie flat on a bench with your feet flat on the ground.
- 2.Hold the handles with your palms facing each other and your arms extended straight above your chest.
- 3.Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, lower your arms out to the sides in a wide arc until you feel a stretch in your chest.
- 4.Pause for a moment, then squeeze your chest muscles to bring your arms back to the starting position.
- 5.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
