High-To-Low Cable Flyes

How to perform

To perform High-To-Low Cable Flyes, follow these steps:

1. Begin by adjusting the pulleys on the cable machine to the highest position, setting them at the highest level possible.

2. Stand between the pulleys and grab the handles with an overhand grip. Step forward slightly to create tension in the cables.

3. Keep a slight bend in your elbows and engage your core muscles to maintain stability throughout the exercise.

4. With a controlled motion, bring the handles down and together in front of your body, keeping your arms slightly bent. Imagine hugging a large tree as you bring the handles together.

5. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement, squeezing your chest muscles, before slowly returning to the starting position.

6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, typically 10-15 reps per set.

7. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, exhaling as you bring the handles together and inhaling as you return to the starting position.

8. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can adjust the weight on the cable machine or incorporate a pause at the bottom of the movement to increase time under tension.

High-To-Low Cable Flyes are a great exercise for targeting the chest muscles, particularly the inner chest. It also engages the shoulders and triceps to a lesser extent. Incorporate this exercise into your chest workout routine to help build muscle mass and strength in the chest area.

Equipment required

Cable
Cable equipment consists of adjustable pulleys attached to weight stacks that allow for resistance training. This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
