Common Mistakes

Bending the Elbows Too Much

Excessive elbow bend turns the cable fly into a press, reducing the isolation of the pectorals.

Not Achieving Full Stretch

Cutting the range of motion short reduces the stretch on the pectoral fibers, which is where maximum hypertrophy stimulus occurs.

Cable Height Wrong for Target

Cable height determines which part of the chest is targeted. Using the wrong height reduces effectiveness.
