EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:

  • SETUP: Attach D-handles to low pulleys, then set your bench to a high incline and position the bench so the seat is about a foot in front of the pulleys (this will create tension for the full rep). Take an neutral-grip of each handle (palms facing in) and sit with your chest up & shoulders back for good posture.
  • REP: Keep the cables at chest level and squeeze your pecs HARD to drive the handles towards the mid-line of your pecs. The cables will move in an arc-like motion. Keeping a slight bend at the elbow will force your pecs to work even harder.
  • TIP: You can get a fantastic squeeze in your pecs on this exercise by controlling the tempo, the stability provided by the bench allows you to really enjoy the contraction of each rep. Also, the cables will provide CONSTANT TENSION, so you can bring the handles all the way in and squeeze your pecs, unlike a regular Dumbbell Flye where we lose tension in the final fifth of the rep.
