Low to high cable fly
Primary muscles: Chest. Assisting muscles: Shoulders.
How to do it
- Set the pulleys low and grab a handle in each hand.
- Take a step forward, palms facing front, hands below waist level, arms extended — the starting position.
- With a slight bend in your arms, bring your hands up and toward the midline until they meet in front of your chest, palms facing up.
- Return to the starting position under control.
Key to the execution: Keep your arms almost straight throughout; the movement comes from the shoulder.
Common mistakes
- Bending your elbows excessively, turning the movement into a press.
- Not stepping forward, so you lose constant tension.
- Swinging your torso to help the movement.
