Incline Cable Flyes

Technique

How to perform Incline Cable Flyes

1. Set both pulleys low and place a bench inclined to about 45 degrees between them.
2. Take one handle in each hand, lie back, and bring the handles above your upper chest with a slight bend in your elbows.
3. Keep your feet planted and your upper back supported as you maintain that elbow bend.
4. Open your arms out to the sides in a controlled arc through a range you can maintain without changing the elbow angle.
5. Bring the handles back together along the same arc by moving at the shoulders, not by pressing through your elbows.
6. Keep the cables controlled as you repeat or finish the set.
