Standing Chest Fly with Curl Bar
Area Targeted: Middle Chest
The Standing Chest Fly exercise is performed from a mid-anchor point, designed to engage your Pecs (chest muscles) effectively. This tried-and-true method employs smooth linear progressive resistance, which corresponds to the natural movement of the chest muscles. Using the Bodylastics Curl Bar, you can opt for a safer and more streamlined workout, leaving cable machines in the past.
