Standing Cable Fly

The standing cable fly provides a great chest workout with a good range of motion. The smoothness of the pulley system is helpful for working out soreness or recuperating from injury.

Muscles Worked

The main muscles involved in the standing cable fly are:

Pectoral (Chest)

Support is provided by:

Back
Shoulders

Other muscles such as the abs and neck are also involved, as the body is balanced in a stable position.

Standing Cable Fly Technique

Stand fairly tall, with knees and waist slightly bent
Spread arms wide to grip handles
Back tight
Chest out
Elbows slightly bent (keep position throughout)
Bring hands together in hugging motion
Squeeze chest together at center position
Breathe!

Standing Cable Fly Notes

Maintain a smooth steady motion in and out
Do not let the handles move back out too quickly
Try not to cheat on your arm/elbow position (this is tough on those last couple of reps)
Remember to breathe. Whether you breathe in or out at a certain point is less important than making sure you are actually breathing during the exercise.
Do not put on more weight than you can properly move! Bad form and injury invariably follow.
