Cable Single Arm Chest Fly
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Cable
HOW TO PERFORM
- Set a cable at about chest height, stand side-on to it and take the handle in the near hand.
- Step away until the cable is taut with the arm out to the side and a slight bend in the elbow.
- Keeping that bend, sweep the hand forward in an arc until it is in front of the chest.
- Let the arm open back out along the same arc under control, finish the set, then switch sides.
FORM TIPS
- The elbow angle never changes. As soon as it opens and closes you are pressing, which is a different exercise.
