How to perform the Low Cable Chest Fly
- 1Set the cable pulleys at the lowest setting, grab a handle in each hand, step slightly forward with one foot, lean your chest slightly up and out, and keep a soft bend in your elbows with your arms angled down and out to the sides. Brace your abs, keep your shoulders down away from your ears, and let your chest feel a light stretch without letting the weights yank you back.
- 2Keeping your elbows slightly bent, slowly bring your hands up and together in front of your chest in a wide “hugging” motion, squeezing your chest as you exhale and pausing briefly when your hands meet. Inhale as you slowly open your arms back down and out to the starting position, stopping before your shoulders pull forward or you lose control of the weight.
Coach tips
- Think about bringing your biceps toward the middle of your chest, not just touching the handles together, to really feel the inner chest working.
- Keep your chest lifted and shoulders down so the work stays in your chest instead of your neck and upper traps.
- Use a slow, controlled tempo and a weight that lets you feel a stretch in your chest without any sharp pain in your shoulders.
