How to: Cable Middle Fly
- Set the cables at shoulder height.
- Stand in the center of the cable machine with one handle in each hand.
- With a slight bend in the elbows, pull the handles together in front of your chest.
- Squeeze your chest at the peak of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position.

- Overextending the arms and putting strain on shoulders.
- Using momentum rather than controlled motion.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise with lighter weights or resistance.
- Change the angle of the cables to reduce strain.
Tips
- Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.
- Avoid using too much weight to maintain form.
- Focus on squeezing the chest muscles together at the peak of the movement.
