Exercise Instructions:

Setup for incline cable flys by setting an adjustable bench to an angle between 30 and 45 degrees and placing it in the center of the cables. Attach single grip handles to the lower pulley cables, and select the weight you want to use on the stack. Grasp each of the handles and lay back on the bench with your arms outstretched. Bend at the elbows slightly, and take the slack if there is any. This is the starting position for the exercise. Keeping your arms in position and rotating at the shoulders only, pull the weight up in a semi circular motion. Squeeze the check muscles at the tops of the movement, then slowly lower the weight back down allowing the chest to stretch back out. Repeat for desired reps.

Tips:

It's important to keep your arms in the same position, do not bend your elbows more as you move the weight up. You should form a semi circle, not push the weight up in a triangular motion. Incline cable flys are about stretch and contraction, not about moving huge weights. Save that for the compound movements!
