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
