Flat Bench Cable Flyes

Exercise Data
Main Muscle Worked: Chest
Other Muscles Worked: Shoulders
Equipment: Cable
Mechanics Type: Isolation

Tips: Position a flat bench between two cables so that when you are laying on it, your chest will be lined up with the cables. Lay flat on the bench and keep your feet on the ground. Grab each stirrup attachment with a palms up grip. Slightly bend your elbows and keep this bend through the whole movement. (Do not bend more or less!) Squeeze your chest and pull the cables together. Touch them together above your chest. Slowly lower down until your chest muscles feel completely stretched. Repeat. Can also be done on an incline or decline bench, or with dumbbells.
