The Cable Incline Fly is a strength training exercise targeting the chest muscles, particularly the outer chest. It involves using a cable machine with an incline bench to perform a fly motion with resistance.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Incline Fly, follow these steps:1. Set up the cable machine with a high pulley attachment and an incline bench at a roughly 45-degree angle.
2. Adjust the weight on the cable machine to an appropriate level for your fitness level.
3. Lie down on the incline bench with a cable handle in each hand, palms facing each other.
4. With a slight bend in your elbows, slowly lower the handles out to the sides, keeping your arms in a slightly bent position.
5. Focus on squeezing your chest muscles as you bring the handles back together in a controlled motion.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Make sure to keep your core engaged and your back flat against the bench throughout the exercise to prevent any strain on your lower back.
8. Remember to breathe throughout the movement, exhaling as you bring the handles together and inhaling as you lower them out to the sides.
It is important to start with lighter weights and focus on proper form before increasing the weight to avoid injury. Incorporating the Cable Incline Fly into your chest workout routine can help build strength and muscle definition in the chest area.
