REGRESSION · HOW TO DO IT

Split-stance cable fly

These steps are written specifically for the Split-stance cable fly. Follow them in order and stop before you lose the position.

  1. 01
    Set up your version

    Set up specifically for the Split-stance cable fly. Set the cable to create tension through the full path without pulling you out of position.

  2. 02
    Move the pattern

    Keep the torso still as you sweep the upper arms forward and toward each other.

  3. 03
    Match the demand

    Use a stable split stance and keep the pelvis facing forward.

  4. 04
    Finish with control

    Finish with the chest squeezed, then open the arms slowly until the pecs are comfortably loaded. Do not chase range with the shoulders.

Sets: 3–4 · Reps: 10–20

Split-stance cable fly is a regression of Cable Fly. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The cable maintains tension as the upper arms adduct toward the midline, making the squeezed position useful instead of unloaded.
