incline cable flye

The incline cable chest fly is an isolation movement that uses a cable stack and an incline bench to target the upper portion of the pectoral muscles. It is common in upper-body and chest-focused muscle-building workouts, often after pressing movements like the barbell or dumbbell bench press or as a finishing movement at the end of the workout. It is often used in combination with other flyes to target the chest from different angles.

BARBELL BENCH PRESS BENEFITS:
  • provides constant tension, including at peak contraction
  • Can quickly switch weights for dropsets
  • The line of resistance from the cables targets the muscles of the upper pectorals
  • Stretches the chest muscles under load which can lead to greater muscle gain
