Exercise Description

The cable lying chest fly exercise builds a bigger, stronger chest while improving muscle definition. It gives you constant tension throughout the entire movement.

How To

1. Set the cable machine pulleys to the lowest position and attach D-handles to both sides. 2. Grab the handles and lie down on a bench positioned between the cables, arms extended out to your sides. 3. Keep a slight bend in your elbows and bring your hands together above your chest in a wide arc motion. 4. Squeeze your chest muscles at the top, then slowly lower the cable lying chest fly back to starting position. 5. Control the weight on the way down and repeat for your target reps.

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulder blades pulled back and down throughout the cable lying chest fly movement. • Maintain a slight bend in your elbows - never lock them out completely during the exercise. • Focus on squeezing your chest muscles at the top rather than just moving the weight. • Keep your core tight and feet flat on the floor for stability throughout each rep.

Common Mistakes

• Going too heavy and turning the cable lying chest fly into a pressing movement instead of a fly. • Letting your shoulders roll forward, which puts unnecessary stress on your shoulder joints. • Moving too fast through the cable lying chest fly motion instead of controlling the weight.
