Standing cable fly driven upward and inward from low pulleys so the upper chest does the adduction work.

Set both pulleys to their lowest position and select a light load on each side.
Grip a handle in each hand with palms turned slightly upward and step forward into a staggered stance.
Stand tall, brace your abdominals, and keep a soft bend in both elbows.
Drive both hands up and inward on a forty-five degree line until they meet at chest or face height.
Pause briefly at the top and hold the chest contraction without clashing the handles.
Lower your arms back down and out under control, then repeat for the prescribed reps.

Leaning back to help the hands travel upward turns the lift into a shoulder raise and takes the chest out of it.
Letting the elbows flex and extend converts the fly into an incline press and moves load to the triceps.
Driving too high with a heavy stack overloads the front of the shoulder joint and provokes pain there.
Losing the abdominal brace lets the lower back arch, which shortens the working range and stresses the spine.
