Technique
How to perform
1
Set up the machine as you would for a classic pec deck fly.
2
Bring the handles together at a normal pace (about 1-2 seconds). Squeeze your chest muscles hard at the peak contraction.
3
Return the handles to the starting position very slowly, taking 3-5 seconds to complete the return phase. Feel the stretch in your chest.
4
Repeat the movement, focusing on controlling the negative (eccentric) part.
