How to perform Cable Flyes

1. Set two cable pulleys around chest height and attach a single handle to each.
2. Stand between and slightly ahead of the pulleys with a stable stance and a small forward torso lean.
3. Open your arms to the sides with a comfortable bend in each elbow.
4. Bring the handles together in front of your chest by moving your upper arms, keeping the elbow bend nearly constant.
5. Return in a controlled arc until you reach the opening position without letting the torso rock backward.
