Cable Decline Fly

Instructions

Preparation

Grasp two opposing high pulley dumbbell attachments. Lie supine on a decline bench, in the middle and perpendicular to both pulleys. Slightly bend elbows and internally rotate shoulders so elbows are back.

Execution

Bring cable stirrups together above upper abdomen in a hugging motion; elbows in a fixed position and shoulders internally rotated so elbows are to the sides. Return to starting position until chest is slightly stretched. Repeat.

Comments

Since the incline of a bench does not actually effect the angle of pull as with dumbbells, a similar effect can be achieved on a flat bench if cable stirrups are brought together above upper abdomen instead of chest.
