How to: Cable Decline Fly
- Set the cable at a decline position and stand in the center of the cable machine.
- Grab the handles with a neutral grip, and step forward to create tension on the cables.
- With a slight bend in the elbows, lower your arms out to the sides until you feel a stretch in your chest.
- Bring your arms back up in a wide arc until your hands meet in front of you.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the elbows flare out too much.
- Using momentum instead of controlled motion.
- Not fully extending the arms.
Modifications
- Use a lighter weight to start if you're a beginner.
- Perform seated if standing is uncomfortable.
Tips
- Maintain a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
- Control the movement to avoid injury, especially on the way down.
- Keep your core engaged to stabilize your body.
