Lever Seated Fly

Category
Chest
Target
Pectorals

The seated fly isolates the chest through horizontal adduction with the machine controlling the arc, which removes the stabilization demands a dumbbell fly requires. That fixed path lets you focus purely on squeezing the pecs together rather than balancing the weights through the range.

How to Do the Lever Seated Fly

  1. Set the seat height and position yourself on the machine with your back against the pad.
  2. Grasp the handles with a pronated grip and keep your elbows slightly bent.
  3. Exhale and push the handles forward, bringing them together in front of your chest.
  4. Pause briefly, squeezing your chest muscles.
  5. Inhale and slowly return to the starting position, allowing your chest muscles to stretch.
  6. Execute the desired number of reps with smooth cadence and consistent focus on the pectorals.
