How to do standing cable flyes

1. Stand centered between the pulleys and grab each handle.
2. Step forward and bring your hands in front.
3. Open your arms until you feel the chest stretch.
4. Bring your hands together in front and squeeze.

Mistakes to avoid

• Don't overextend your arms (shoulder risk).
• Avoid arching your back.
• Don't use so much weight you can't control the return.

Progression

• Increase weight gradually. At 3x15, raise the pulley position to vary the angle.
