Cable Standing Neutral-Grip Fly

1. Set up the cable machine by attaching the handles to the high pulleys on each side.

2. Stand in the center between both pulleys with your feet shoulder-width apart and a slight bend in your knees for stability.

3. Grasp each handle with a neutral grip (palms facing each other) and extend your arms out to the sides, parallel to the floor. This is your starting position.

4. Keeping your elbows slightly bent, bring the handles together in front of you in a smooth arc motion, squeezing your chest as the handles meet.

5. Pause briefly at the end of the movement and contract your chest muscles fully.

6. Slowly reverse the motion, returning your arms back to the starting position without letting the weight rest until you complete your set.

7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips: Keep your core engaged and back straight during the exercise to avoid using momentum, ensuring that the movement is driven by the chest muscles. Do not lock your elbows, maintain a slight bend throughout the exercise, which helps to protect your elbow joints and maintain tension on your chest muscles. Control the movement both on the way in and the way out to maximize the muscular contraction and the effectiveness of the exercise.
