KZbin wont give you ads if your video is under 10 minutes long. So under 10 mins means it makes no money

I love how clear and detailed your explanations are. This exercise is really helping me target my chest more effectively.

[@spacecowboyblanco5771]

Scott I just wanted to tell you I've been watching all of your videos & your workouts & forms are awesome. Being into fitness myself I usually take a little bit of what I watch from people & advice from trainers but you sir have it down to the T. Thanks for these videos & I've really felt such a difference doing all of your exercises. Keep it up, you're a great trainer! & btw to everyone out there there is no faster way to get "ripped" it takes time & dedication. If you rush it you can get hurt.

Like in other videos - a very through explanation of this exercise. I owe a special thanks to Steve for making these videos available for fitness enthusiasts. You have also saved me good amount of money as I don't have to hire a personal fitness trainer. I rely heavily on your videos for meeting my fitness needs. A big thanks and Namaste from an Indian follower.

Thanks Scott, I started my journey in 2024, and I love your videos

This is probably my favorite chest exercise. Thanks for the video! I realize, now, that I have not been performing the exercise correctly, because I generally lean forward. I'll be sure to work on your pointers on my next chest day.

learning to be a trainer everytime i gone through this everyone has said keep your back straight from experience if you arch your back its just like a bench press you get more strength from it but its not propper form everything else he shows is perfect just keep that back straight.. ps. not tryin to shit talk scott i really like his work

great video! scott, do you do cable crossover? i haven't tried it is it similar to this one or should i better try it? thanks!

[@shanemason789]

Dude in your new videos you have put on some muscle!

[@Suntro]

What does the different levels of cable flyes do? Like, what's the difference between low and high cable flyes in terms of impact on the pectorals?

[@octoman06]

Scott, I see that you do the cable fly with your hands "open", does it matter if you grab the handle or is it better with your hands open as in your video?

[@blueleaf1717]

@ty99999returns thats my point they're hard to do so i cnt do much weight.. biceps are the same for me, i dont use much weight since you have to train biceps with good form more so than other muscle groups cos of how you move them

[@CNMTx-gc4zw]

"neutral spine" "arch back" how?

[@Kev80ification]

good video!

[@TheTrippleTKA]

this is a very convenient machine. Where are you located? I'm coming over just to use this. thanks

[@jbaillie01]

I'm getting advice to twist your palms slightly at the end inwards if that makes sense ? What's your thoughts

[@blueleaf1717]

@Natcam3 actually diet is the most challenging part of loosing weight on top of cardioand i think many people apart from obviously you would agree with me on that one.. not only contollling what u eat, but WHEN u eat it can be even harder as most people have busy lives and dnt always find time to eat right - i know anybody can do it but its not simple for anyone

[@anthonyvilla6800]

hi scott :-) question: what area does this actually hit? and is there different positions to work different parts of the chest if doing cables? thanks

[@spoopyscaryskelebones3846]

Hi Anthony :) The method shown in the video works the sternal head of the chest. If you go from low to high, you’d hit the clavicle head. But I recommend Incline Dumbell Press for that part of your chest instead. Hope this helped :))

[@purpsmoke4205]

Lowkey too much tension on shoulder when you go to far back like that, I usually go to the point at 1:32 and repeat

[@sabesta]

Thanks Scott I'm gunna do it this way so I can snap my shoulder and never lift heavy again! Thanks bro

[@Daduu]

Do the hands have to be facing towards eachtoher when brought down or do the hands have to be facing down?

[@WithTheBears]

You can't say neutral spine and back is arched in the same sentence my dude, good fly tho

[@xXRAidZXxGaMing]

WithTheBears yes you can, the spine natrually has curves in it

[@kevinr8579]

You have no idea what you're talking about. He was correct.

[@arianfaramarzi152]

Good point..

[@WithTheBears]

@Tim E. The only way to arch your back to keep it neutral is if your starting point is a flexed position. Yes the lumbar spine has a natural anterior convex curve to it but there is a difference between a neutral spine and arching your back (taking it to an extended position) which you see him do here.

[@WithTheBears]

@@kevinr8579 see my comment below please. If you were to take his lumbar spine in the position he says is neutral and have him stand up straight, he would be arching backwards aka an extended position. I have no problem with lumbar extension during TherEx

[@Realeye66]

Thanks ,learnt lot

[@HeyImChance]

Scott Herman is my man crush!

[@dh6865]

Do you keep your shoulder blades pinched when doing it ?

[@WorldOfShaddai]

Super helpful

[@jrg305]

Is there any need to do decline, flat, incline, and overhead presses? Or is just decline and incline good enough? I understand that adding different exercises adds a psychological variety and increases the volume of your workouts, but on this video it looks like your pectoral muscles just have striations in two directions, which would mean only the incline and decline would be good enough (overhead is more for shoulders and traps I guess).

[@KellyNorris63]

Great explanation... Thanks.

[@BarbaraWalters_]

thank you for the video.

[@keegancan]

I might give this a try as the chest runs from up and down and left and right, I believe. Thankyou

[@thomasdube3921]

thanks Scott

[@xLuckyLucas95x]

which part of the chest does this exercise primarily work? inner? outer? upper? lower?

[@oc1omaen]

How much weight do you normally do for flys?

[@banterfc9341]

Started gym today after a whole year, I need this lol

[@karuna5555]

Which muscle is this supposed to target? (obviously the chest muscles, but any specific one?)

[@agahajak]

Like you said put the cables all the way up, does it matter how tall you are? I'm 5' 7" should i put them all the way up? or is there a way to tell how high i should set them? does it vary by height?

[@garyfitz2265]

Is this better than using the baa bell??

[@ProphecyRJ]

@octoman06 I think it is a matter of preference, the muscles responsible for gripping do not have much effect on how much your pectoralis muscle gets activated.

[@uavidavida7633]

I like the form

[@yunusdagistanli]

Whatever i do i just cant stop feeling my biceps and shoulders, and not my chests

[@kadu21]

whats a neutral spine

[@anza1300]

a straight spine without any arches

[@Heisenberg355]

HowuDoin? No, there's a slight natural arch in the spine.

[@dulok0091]

Jestem tu po 11 latach 💪

[@kdu8004]

Don't forget to squeeze your chest peoplez. flys are all about that squeeze.

[@σσυ-θ7η]

What happens when we do that?

[@kdu8004]

It helps to further isolate the movement to your chest. For me, doing flies is like flexing in the mirror.

[@YooperHatesOhioState]

I love this exercise! For chest during my upper body splits, I do this along with DB chest press both pump the crap out of my chest. I do my flies behind the cables tho because I feel less tension on my shoulders and a little more on my chest

[@MustAccord]

Im getting pain in my left shoulder during rotation with this exercise, perhaps I should not do it?

[@SchneiderVesperine]

I wanna do this but I don't have the equipment. I can't go to gym because it's very far. I only have 60 kgs total of plates and some dumbbell and a barbell. Is there any alternative for this one? :( Oh and I'm still new.
