Cable Fly (Decline)

How to do it

  1. Set both cable pulleys to the top position and place a decline bench centered between them, then lie back with your head lower than your hips.
  2. Grasp a handle in each hand and start with arms extended out to your sides at shoulder level, elbows slightly bent.
  3. Brace your core to keep your torso still, then draw both handles down and together in an arcing path toward your hips.
  4. Squeeze at the bottom of the movement across the lower chest before slowly reversing back to the starting position.
  5. Move at a controlled tempo, exhaling as you bring the handles together and inhaling as you open back out.
  6. Keep the arc path consistent rather than turning the movement into a press by bending the elbows more as you fatigue.
