Using the FitnessTracker app to monitor chest development? The Cable Iron Cross is a powerful fly variation that emphasizes tension at both the stretch and contraction. It’s ideal for upper body control and muscular definition.
Instructions
- Set the cable pulleys to the highest setting and attach standard D-handles to both sides.
- Stand in the middle of the machine and grab a handle in each hand, extending your arms outward to form a “T” shape with your torso.
- Keep a slight bend in the elbows and pull the handles down and slightly behind your body, squeezing your chest at the bottom.
- Hold for a moment at full contraction, then return your arms slowly to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, keeping chest engagement throughout.
