Incline Chest Fly Machine

Set the seat so the handles align with your upper chest. Stay against the backrest and gently set your shoulder blades.

Bring the handles together and slightly up and forward. Use the upper chest, with a relaxed bend in the elbows, not the shoulders.

Open the handles slowly and feel the upper chest lengthen. Reverse before the shoulders round forward.

Draw the insides of your upper arms toward the upper chest. If the shoulders pull, correct the seat height.

Overextending the arms or setting the seat too low overloads the shoulders. Set the seat before increasing weight.

Exhale as the handles meet and inhale as they open. Long, steady breaths preserve upper-chest tension.

Move slowly and pause briefly at the top. Less swinging means more upper-chest tension.
