Cable Incline Fly (On Stability Ball)

Setup

1. 01Place a stability ball centered between two low cable pulleys with single-grip handles attached.
2. 02Sit on the ball, walk the feet forward, and rest the upper back on the ball with the hips held below shoulder level for an incline torso angle.
3. 03Plant the feet wide and squeeze the glutes to hold the position.
4. 04Hold the handles with arms extended over the upper chest, elbows softly bent.

Execution

1. 01Open the arms in a wide arc until a stretch is felt across the chest.
2. 02Keep the elbow bend fixed and the hips motionless.
3. 03Sweep the handles back up and together over the upper chest.
4. 04Squeeze the pecs for a beat before the next rep.

Checkpoints

• -Torso angle on the ball stays constant instead of the hips sagging.
• -Elbow bend stays fixed; no pressing motion appears.
• -Both arms move symmetrically without the ball rolling.
• -The stretch stops where the shoulders stay packed.

Common mistakes

• -Letting the hips drop so the incline flattens out mid-set.
• -Loading so heavy the ball wobbles and reps get ugly.
• -Bending the elbows to press the weight up.
• -Placing the feet too narrow to control the ball.
