Chest Cable Fly Standing

• Attach cable handles to a high pulley cable machine. Make sure the pulleys are positioned above your head.

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent. Keep your core engaged and spine straight throughout the movement.

• Grasp the cable handles in each hand and extend your arms out to the sides until they are parallel to the floor. Palms should be facing down and elbows slightly bent. This is the starting position.

• Initiate the movement by pulling the cable handles down and across your body in an arcing motion. Focus on squeezing your chest muscles as you bring your hands together in front of your body.

• Slowly return to the starting position in a controlled motion as you breathe out. Make sure to keep your core stable and avoid excessive arching in your lower back.

• Repeat for the desired number of reps. Make sure both arms are moving symmetrically.

• Stand upright and keep your shoulders back. Avoid leaning forward or rounding your shoulders during the movement.

• Start with lighter weight and higher reps until you get the proper form down. Progressively increase the weight as you build strength.

• Breathe in during the starting position and breathe out as you bring your hands together across your chest. Do not hold your breath.
