![]() If a bench is not available, utilizing an offset stance can be helpful. Your head and chest should be up as you lean. This chest flye variation allows you to apply high-tension to your pecs without much involvement from other muscle groups. Step forward in front of both pulleys with your arms extended in front of you, bringing your hands together. This is important for replicating that wide, stretched-chest position at the start of a good cable crossover. It also starts to build up to that stretch we talked about before. In which case, using a bench with a back can provide additionally stability so that you can focus on muscle recruitment in your chest. The cable crossover has been a favorite in bodybuilding circles for decades, and for good reason. Increasing the width of your grip during a push-up increases the chest involvement. If you are very strong and light, it may become difficult to perform cable flys in the standing position. ![]() The standing cable fly requires more control of the core and higher body weight to strength ratio than the seated fly. But if you want to develop and sculpt your chest, they are one of the best exercises available. Chest flys are slow, methodical exercise. This cast-on will work well with most bottom-up sweaters that use either a 1x1 or 2x2 rib, such as my Split Stone sweater (which I will be releasing in May - yippee) There are many benefits to using this cast-on over a classic cable cast-on. Full-contraction of the chest is achieved when the arm’s drawn forward and across the body. One of them is the Alternating Cable Cast-On. In addition, performing alternating single arm 90 second chest flys automatically builds in an appropriate amount of rest for each arm so you don’t even need to track your rest time. When working the chest muscles (pectoralis major), many exercises only offer a partial range-of-motion for the muscle itself. If you are short on time, I recommend using the low to mid fly as that move can be done bilaterally with great effect. In many cases, chest flys are better performed one at time so that you can provide the proper focus to working the pectoris major. What’s great about the crossover is the versatility to change the cable height to target different portions of the chest. The Pronated Chest Fly is an excellent Exercise for adding width to the Pectoris Major. The cable crossover is a chest isolation exercise that uses a cable crossover machine to target the pectoral muscles.
