How to do a incline cable fly

  1. Attach a handle to each low pulley and sit back on an incline bench between the stacks.
  2. Hold a handle in each hand with your arms out wide.
  3. Bring your hands together above your chest.
  4. Keep a slight bend in your elbows.
  5. Open your arms slowly.

Form tips

  • Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the entire movement to protect shoulder joints
  • Focus on feeling the stretch in your chest muscles at the bottom position without going too deep
  • Maintain tension in the cables throughout the full range of motion and avoid letting weights touch the stack
  • Use a weight that allows you to control the movement in both directions without momentum
  • Keep your core engaged and avoid arching your back excessively during the exercise
