Low-to-high cable chest fly
- Set the pulleys to the lowest position and stand in the center, gripping the handles with your palms facing up.
- Pull the handles upward and together in front of your upper chest or face, squeezing your upper pectorals.
- Slowly lower your arms back to the starting position, feeling the stretch in your chest.
Tips
- Keep a slight, fixed bend in your elbows throughout the movement so your arms maintain a consistent arc from the low starting position up to the finishing point in front of your upper chest or face.
- Stand centered between the pulleys with your torso upright and stable so that both cables pull at equal angles as you bring the handles together.
- Guide the handles upward along a smooth diagonal path, finishing with your hands meeting in front of your upper chest or face rather than crossing them past each other.
Common mistakes
- Pulling with a bent arm that changes angle during the movement, turning the exercise into a row rather than a fly.
- Letting the handles drop back down quickly rather than lowering them with control, so the arms do not follow a deliberate arc on the return.
- Shifting the torso forward or backward as the handles rise, rather than keeping the body position stable throughout the lift.
