Cable Fly Sculpt Your Chest with GymBudd
Want to build a strong, defined chest? At GymBudd, we know that isolation exercises are key for targeting your pectoral muscles effectively. The Cable Fly is one of the best exercises to sculpt, shape, and strengthen your chest, giving you that full, defined look.
What is the Cable Fly?
The Cable Fly is a chest isolation exercise performed using a cable machine. Unlike presses, it focuses entirely on the chest, minimizing arm and shoulder involvement. By controlling the cables throughout the motion, you achieve maximum muscle stretch and contraction, which is perfect for chest growth and definition.
