3 cable fly variations for training chest
These cable fly variations change the line of pull and shift the emphasis across the chest.
↗️ Low-to-High Cable Fly: Drive the arms upward and inward to place more emphasis on the upper, clavicular fibers of the pec major.
↘️ High-to-Low Cable Fly: Pull the arms downward and inward to place more emphasis on the lower, sternal fibers of the pec major.
↔️ Cable Fly: Bring the arms straight across the body to train the pecs through horizontal adduction with a balanced overall chest emphasis.
Keep the movement controlled, maintain a slight bend in the elbows, and use a load that lets you move through a comfortable full range.
