cable fly

Pec isolation movement

A cable fly is a strength training exercise targeting the chest muscles.

Standing between two cable machines with handles set at various heights, you bring your arms together in a hugging motion while keeping them slightly bent: I finished my chest workout with three sets of cable flies.

The continuous tension from the cables distinguishes it from dumbbell flyes.
