Mechanics
- Pattern
- chest isolation
- Equipment
- band
- Geometry
- 90° Alignment
- Energy model
- Glycolytic Pathway (10-90s)
- Target feel
- Chest shortens through peak contraction — resistance increases as hands meet.
- Progression
- Add band thickness or increase range; introduce a 2 s pause at peak.
- Regression
- Cable fly if band anchor setup isn't stable.
Watch for
- Anchor too low or too high — changes which chest fibers are loaded
- Pressing instead of flying — turns it into a push
- Releasing the tension before hands fully meet
Substitutions
- Cable fly
- Pec deck
