Hey guys! Want to put more size on your chest? Here’s one that is guaranteed to get the results you’re looking for!
The upward cable fly is a chest isolation exercise that targets the upper (clavicular) fibers of the pectoralis major, with assistance from the anterior deltoids. It’s essentially a reverse-angle fly where the cables travel from low to high, mimicking an incline pressing path.
-Set both pulleys to the lowest position.
-Attach single handles to each side.
-Grab handles and step forward into a split stance (one foot forward for stability).
*Use an even stance for more core stability
-Slight forward lean at the torso (about 10–20°).
-Start with arms down and slightly behind your hips, elbows softly bent (10–20° bend).
-Initiate the movement from the chest, not the hands.
-Sweep the arms upward and inward in a wide arc.
-Bring hands together at about upper chest or collarbone height.
-PAUSE and squeeze the upper chest for 1–2 seconds.
-Slowly control back to the starting position (2–3 second eccentric).
*Keep elbows fixed — don’t turn it into a press!
OWN THE MOVE!!
REMEMBER: It’s not how many you can do-
It’s how many you can do, WELL 👍🏻💪🏼

It was an honor to have Dr. Nic, from Synergy Sports Clinic, and his client, Josh out to the FitPhrm for some A.M. Metabolic testing! The Doc did a VO2 test on the assault bike, and Josh did both an RMR(Resting Metabolic Rate) and a VO2!
Both did great! Knowledge is power! 👊🏼💪🏼

This one exercise has so many benefits!
This is true anti-rotation work!
1. Trains Anti-Rotation Core Strength
-When you lift the right arm and left leg, your body wants to:
• Rotate
• Tilt
• Shift weight
Resisting that builds:
• Transverse abdominis
• Internal/external obliques
• Deep spinal stabilizers (multifidus)
• Reflexive core control
2. Reinforces Posterior Chain Integration
The lifted leg activates:
• Glute max
• Glute med
• Hamstrings
But the real win is cross-body sling integration:
• Right glute ↔ Left lat
• Left glute ↔ Right lat
That’s the same diagonal pattern used in:
• Sprinting
• Rotational power (golf, baseball, tennis)
• Running and MTB climbing mechanics
3. Improves Scapular Stability

When the arm lifts, the planted shoulder must:
• Stabilize under load
• Resist winging
• Maintain serratus engagement

This builds:
• Serratus anterior activation
• Shoulder integrity
• Closed-chain scapular control
That’s protective for anyone pressing, throwing, or doing landmine work.

4. Enhances Lumbo-Pelvic Control
This drill exposes:
• Pelvic rotation
• Lumbar extension bias
• Poor hip dissociation
If someone arches their low back when lifting the leg → they lack glute control.
If hips rotate → poor oblique sling engagement.

It’s diagnostic and corrective.

5. Increases Neuromuscular Demand Without Heavy Load
Because of instability:
• Heart rate climbs
• RPE increases
• Tension skyrockets
But spinal compression stays low.
Great for:
• Deload weeks
• Regen days
• Filming days when aesthetics matter (high tension, low fatigue)

6. Builds Athletic Cross-Pattern Coordination
Humans move contralaterally.
This drill wires:
• Gait patterning
• Cross-body sequencing
• Ground force transfer
’s essentially a high-level crawling progression.

Give this one a shot! If you don’t have a kettlebell, you can use a dumbbell.

Core stability is legit 💯

I can’t say enough good things about the benefits that come from hanging. Much has been published recently, from increasing grip strength, which is increasingly being correlated to longevity, as well as the stretching of the latissimus dorsi muscles, and rotator cuff, and decompression of the vertebrae, and an overall postural reset. It’s a great stretch- especially first thing in the morning. I’ve been doing this every morning, for years, and as a result, haven’t needed a chiropractor adjustment.
Think about it: You spend 6-8 hours(hopefully) sleeping in a fetal position, curled up. Most people pop out of bed and start their day. What if you started your day with this instead? If you are active, you are constantly compressing your spine, under load. Skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, running… it’s all under load.
Take a couple of minutes to re-elongate your spine, and you’ll walk taller, and quite possibly, alleviate knee, hip, back, and shoulder pain. It’s all connected!
