The Cable Lying Fly is an exercise that targets the chest muscles and helps to improve strength and definition in the upper body.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Lying Fly exercise, follow these steps:1. Adjust the pulley machine so that the cables are attached at the top of the machine and set at a light to moderate weight.
2. Lie flat on your back on a bench with your feet flat on the floor and your head supported.
3. Hold the handles of the cables with your palms facing each other and arms extended directly above your chest.
4. Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, slowly lower the handles out to the sides in a wide arc motion until your arms are at shoulder level.
5. Pause for a moment and then slowly bring the handles back up to the starting position while squeezing your chest muscles.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to maintain control throughout the exercise and focus on contracting your chest muscles. Make sure to use a weight that challenges you but still allows you to maintain proper form.
