Hey man, just wanted to take some time out of my day to say thanks for this video. I went to the gym this morning and tried my best to follow your steps. good stuff and i feel like I am doing these much better than i would have not watching your video!! Thanks!!

[@evolution031680]

Dude, so much information here. Thanks for taking the time.

[@reynaelizabeth9757]

Thank you soooooooooooooo much for explaining this exercise and how to use this machine; your way of explaining is super clear and easy to understand ❤️🙏🏼

[@jbfitness3056]

Great video and detailed breakdown. Down-up is my fave

[@trentmonaghan179]

Great instructions.

[@michaelchoice8227]

I've watched over 50 cable chest work out videos lately. All are useful, but this one is by far the best I've come across!!

[@darkwun1461]

Such a good explanation of constant tension. I used to think dumbbell flies were boss, but now I really see the cable fly is king.

[@Brownleerfc1]

Brilliant video. Thanks for posting.

[@winniechen4311]

straightforward, short and informative!

[@Teachermukul]

Beautifully and brilliantly explained ! I am going to hit the gym today with all the tips shared by you in todays video . Looing forward to more videos .

[@TheMainMayn]

Bro this is great. You covered practically everything for optimal use of working the chest on the cables. Subbed bro

[@YoungTimzo]

This answers every question I had about this exercise. I strained a ligament in my leg the first time I tried this, and was out for about 3 days lol, but I knew I did something wrong. This is exactly what I needed. Subscribed.

[@billkeegan3566]

Thank You , Sir

[@samhanmma]

Realy great videos. Thanks

[@ChopOn414]

Just found their podcast the other day, been through like 6 episodes already. Their no bull approach is what I like. These guys and Jeff from Athlean-X know their stuff. These guys need way more subscribers than most of that nonsense thats currently out there.

[@RashaIbrahim89]

Thank you, your explanation is simple and clear. I like it. :)

[@sandragrumet7691]

Thank you Adam! You videos are so helpful. I've been implementing your cues when training and it's a total game changer! :)

Thank you.

[@yanamadalasrinivas6691]

Thank you sir, the guru explained everything clearly.

[@NikkiGregory]

Great video. I watched this because I always see people round their back but my trainer says do not round the back. I've been working on this one cuz I love it. At only 7 lbs now but will get up there soon. Thanks

[@seanallison8850]

[@ginger3078]

great explanation, I love to finish chest with cable fly but for some reason I always think I do them wrong, I also forgot about the variation.excellent video!

[@callummcnay3127]

Thanks sooo much this is really well explained 👏💙

[@Dan.of.the.dungeon]

Thank you for this. I just joined the gym at 46 years old. Lived a mostly sedentary lifestyle. So I'm here learning how to do things.

[@BGvibes115]

[@jamesperry2052]

GREAT VIDEO!!! THANK YOU!!! I SUBSCRIBED TODAY!!!

[@eyarin46]

[@satinderkaur5636]

[@meekeedutsa]

Thanks much!

[@joshuaanderton9937]

These rlly help me thanks as I just started and I go on my own

[@alejandrogirondaortiz4260]

Very useful, thanks. I felt like I was inclining my body too much when performing them. I will indeed focus on that starting position, keeping it steady throughout the whole workout.

[@garyowen837]

Bro I’ve been struggling with this I really appreciate your content

[@atune2682]

damn this channel is so good
great vid!

[@robranko5931]

smart man.. thank u

[@jessewhite516]

These kinds of video explanations, drilling down into the details of positioning & posture during the exercise, are some of the most helpful since I believe one of the biggest problems with lifting (for me) is correct setup and positioning. Thanks guys.

[@philambrose3094]

Thanks for the tip about internally turning your hands at the end of the rep, for high to low flys I always supinate my wrists as I thought (incorrectly it turns out) it improved the contraction.

[@MrLovegospel]

Best explanation ever....

[@KevExplorer]

You have the best explanation ever

[@hmoffu4223]

This made since to me!!!

[@D__Lee]

Best explanation ever...best channel in the world

[@gopherstate777]

Adam missed this one, you should pay better attention. See my explanation above.

[@sergeant_hound7277]

Exactly. I saw Scott Herman’s video and this one is much much more thorough

[@johnkennett3265]

Thanks for this expert advice. I built high and low cables in my Philippines bedroom gym but at age 79 I can't afford injuries.

[@Dangerouswithmatter]

This is a great video. Every other tutorial I checked out did chest flies wrong.
But if anyone would like to know, he actually starts showing you how to do it 3 minutes in. Maybe all that commentary would be better afterwards rather than before.

[@TheSatisfactoryMeatstick]

Best explanation I've watched, didn't feel it much before. This helped a ton. Especially with the elbow over wrist positioning.

[@seymourcarson]

Rotated my wrists the way you said and wow way more activation! Lol thanks!

[@Manishahd]

great attention to details.. especially the hand positioning when squeezing close to chest.
a quick one: instead of bringing my hands together , can i continue and let them cross over each other as much as possible to increase ROM?

[@chrisyoung8062]

What about breathing in on the concentric which helps keep the chest proud instead of an exhale which tends to make the chest cave in a little. This keeps better tension on the pecs.

[@Leo-yn5fx]

My private gym just got a cable machine after so many years of requesting one. Bands just aren't just cutting it. It's almost complete. Now if only we can get a treadmill!

[@ss9392]

Holyshit this is such a great channel! Unadulterated knowledge in a professional manner, well done!

[@josephallen3504]

I am using you tube videos bro teach
Me how to train .y muscle to get stronger , your instruction are the best so far, thank you for. Your effort in making your vids

[@matthewcooksey5411]

Sick.

[@russellprice9762]

Thank you very much, I have been doing it wrong for years!!

[@gopherstate777]

You're still doing it wrong, read my comment above.

[@vamsiB13]

This is very informative. Cable flies are one of my favorite chest exercises. I do them at the beginning before the compound movements to get the blood flow.

[@gopherstate777]

That is a very clever use of cable flies. It is called pre-exhaust and it was developed by a Canadian guy named Robert Kennedy who ran MuscleMag for many years. The advantage of doing your exercises this way is you don't need as much weight to affect muscle growth and you can use a lighter weight which is better for your joints in the long run.
I always do rear deltoids before an overhead pressing exercise. You will end up with fuller more balanced deltoids in the long run and your rear deltoids will reach positive failure along with your front deltoids which is a weird feeling.

[@Jjournell1987]

Thanks Adam Schefter

[@cherylhudson2941]

Should I incorporate all three in one workout? I like to do a full body workout. Good video thanks.

[@Coondawgwoopwoop]

Why can everyone explain exercises like this?! That was brilliant.

[@luker1hutcher315]

Great tips man. Just one thing, aren't we supposed to fully adduct the arms/chest so that the hands cross-over, hence cable cross-overs? What's the benefit (if any) of this, over the Chest-CrossOvers which fully aduct the arms/pecs ? thanks man, from across the Pond!

[@appusingh5874]

This covers mainly lower pec. Coming down from top to bottom. Do a video with a cable only workout targeting mainly middle and upper pecs

[@lateefpendleton5966]

Fuckin Awesome Brah💪🏾💯thank you! I subscribed

[@lastone87]

F’n love the pvc tip, makes total sense! When you have a client get into a split stance, do you have them switch? Do you switch them to their non dominant preference? Thanks again!

[@MindPumpTV]

Gabriel Contreras I prefer clients use the less dominant side . Switching is fine too though .

[@lastone87]

Mind Pump TV 🙏 💪

[@nikhiltumbde269]

How does the hand position affect the muscle to be targetted?

[@KevinHumble92]

Thank you man, i barley started this like a month now. I do all variations, is that bad?

[@honey_kumar24]

Love from india

[@davidpalafox6978]

Since I have 2 push days I might just have one day where i do cable flies only and another day for pressing weight when it comes to chest

[@goldenboyproductions2740]

What I'd give for cable chest fly's during the quarantine

[@ComandaKronikk]

this man looks very powerful

[@joppleysier4714]

This is the first time i see someone with the same sneakers that i have. They look good on you.

[@Teachermukul]

Just a question ! What if i do the cable chest fly from all the three different angles as opposed one each time ?
