Incline Cable Flys.

Make every rep count.

1. 01

   Set both cable pulleys as low as possible, place an incline bench centered between them, and choose a load you can control.

2. 02

   Sit on the bench, grab one handle at a time, then lean back into position with the handles near chest height.

3. 03

   Start with your arms slightly out to the sides, shoulder blades pulled down and back, chest up, and a soft bend in the elbows (keep this bend the whole set).

4. 04

   Bring the handles together over your upper chest by squeezing your pecs—think of hugging a big barrel. Don’t let your shoulders shrug forward.

5. 05

   Pause briefly and contract the chest.

6. 06

   Slowly reverse the motion: open your arms wide under control, moving at the shoulders (not the elbows) until you feel a strong chest stretch.

7. 07

   Stop before the weights pull you out of position, then repeat for reps with a smooth, controlled tempo.
