Cable Low Fly

Setup

1. 01Set both pulleys to the lowest position and attach single-grip handles.
2. 02Stand centered between the columns and step forward into a staggered stance.
3. 03Hold the handles at the sides with palms facing forward and elbows softly bent.
4. 04Brace the trunk and keep a slight forward lean.

Execution

1. 01Sweep both hands upward and together in a wide arc.
2. 02Finish with the hands meeting around chest height in front of the body.
3. 03Squeeze the chest for a beat at the top.
4. 04Lower along the same arc until a stretch is felt at the front of the shoulders and chest.

Checkpoints

• -Elbow bend stays fixed from start to finish.
• -The hands travel up and in, not straight forward like a press.
• -Shoulders stay down; no shrugging as the arms rise.
• -Torso stays still with no backward lean to help the weight up.

Common mistakes

• -Turning the movement into a front raise by keeping the arms too straight in front.
• -Shrugging the traps as the hands rise.
• -Swinging the torso backward to move heavier loads.
• -Cutting the top short and skipping the squeeze.
