Bench Cable Flyes
How to Do Bench Cable Flyes
- Laying flat on a bench take hold of each cable and position the handles directly above your chest.
- With only a slight bend at the elbow, allow the cable to slowly pull your arms outwards until they reach the same horizontal level as the bench.
- Contract your pectorals and pull the handles back inwards, without using your biceps.
- Finish the repetition with the cables together above your chest in the starting position.
