Incline Cable Fly
The incline cable fly targets the upper chest with constant tension throughout the movement. Setting the pulleys low and the bench at an incline combines the benefits of cable resistance with upper pec emphasis.
How to Perform
Set an adjustable bench to 30-45 degrees between two low cable pulleys.
Grab the handles and start with arms extended out to your sides, elbows slightly bent.
Bring the handles together above your upper chest in a wide hugging arc.
Lower slowly to a deep stretch, keeping the same slight elbow bend throughout.
Squeeze hard at the top for a one-count before beginning the next rep.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Setting the incline too steep, which shifts tension from the upper chest to the front delts.
Bending the elbows excessively and turning the fly into a pressing movement.
Using too much weight and swinging the torso to complete each rep.
