How Golden Era Bodybuilders Did Cable Flyes - Finishing Chest Exercise

One of the favorite chest exercises Arnold Schwarzenegger loved to do at the end of his chest workout. From the deepest stretch to the hardest contraction. You know the chest under load the entire time. That's where cable flyes come in. They would begin standing. Moving the handles through that wide arc. And when the chest simply couldn't move the weight anymore, they dropped to their knees and continue to fight. The guys not having any type of pectoral development whatsoever need to stay with the basics. It wasn't about numbers, It was about chasing the pump, about driving blood into the chest until the muscle felt carved from stone. Sergio Oliva also had a unique form where he would target more upper chest, look at his chest as he moves the weight in a perfect rhythm, keeping constant tension on the muscle and carve detail into an already fatigued chest. As Arnold said, bring out the striations in the chest was done with the one and only cable flyes Try every angle and see what works best for you. For me, this is a meditation, this is a ritual between my mind and my body.
