Main Muscle:	Chest
Secondary Muscle(s):	N/A
Exercise Type:	Isolation, Push
Equipment Required:	Cable Pulley, Incline Bench

Exercise Description and Instruction:

Incline Cable Chest Flys are an isolation chest exercise that work your pectoralis major from a different motion than bench press exercise variations, like the Dumbbell Bench Press. Bench press exercise variations should be the bulk of your chest workouts, but Dumbbell Fly variations and Dumbbell Pullover variations are good weight training exercises to sprinkle in.

To Perform This Exercise:

Set up an incline bench at a 45 degree angle in the middle of a cable station.

Set up the cable pulleys so that the handles are in line with your shoulders when you're lying on the bench and choose the correct weight.

Grab the cable handles and sit on the bench, leaning back carefully. In the starting position your arms will be out to your sides, your elbows pointing down, and your palms facing up with the cable handles at about shoulder height.

Exhale and focus on using your chest to raise the handles in a wide arc above the middle of your chest until they are directly above you and your palms are facing each other.
