Pulley Fly Incline Seated

Video coming soon...

The pulley fly incline seated workout is a great exercise for targeting the chest muscles.

By using the pulley, this exercise allows for a controlled and isolated movement of the chest.

It primarily engages the pectoralis major and minor, providing a challenging workout for the chest.

While other muscles like the shoulders and triceps are involved, the pulley ensures the chest is the main focus.

Adjust the seat of the pulley fly machine so that your feet are flat on the floor and your thighs are parallel to the ground.
Grasp the handles of the pulley fly machine with an overhand grip, keeping your elbows slightly bent.
Sit back into the seat, maintaining a tall posture with your chest lifted and shoulders relaxed.
Engage your core muscles and exhale as you push the handles forward, bringing them together in front of your chest.
Pause for a moment, feeling the contraction in your chest muscles.
Inhale as you slowly release the handles back to the starting position, keeping your elbows slightly bent.
Repeat steps 4-6 for the desired number of repetitions.

Position yourself correctly on the incline bench: Sit with your back firmly against the bench, feet flat on the floor, and maintain a slight arch in your lower back. This will provide a stable base for your chest muscles to engage effectively during the exercise.
Focus on your breathing: Inhale deeply as you lower the pulley handles towards your chest, and exhale forcefully as you push them away. This controlled breathing pattern will help you maintain proper form and maximize the activation of your chest muscles throughout the movement.
Maintain a controlled tempo: Avoid rushing through the exercise and instead, focus on performing each repetition with a slow and controlled motion. This deliberate pace will ensure that your chest muscles are fully engaged and that you are not relying on momentum to complete the movement.
Squeeze your chest at the top: When you reach the fully extended position with your arms straight, take a moment to consciously squeeze your chest muscles. This contraction at the top of the movement will enhance the mind-muscle connection and help you develop a stronger chest over time.
Gradually increase the resistance: As you become more comfortable with the exercise and your form improves, gradually increase the weight on the pulley to continue challenging your chest muscles. This progressive overload will stimulate muscle growth and help you achieve your fitness goals.
