High cable pec fly

[T4344]

I did high cable pec flys as part of my chest today @ about 125 lbs total and my shoulders were on complete fire. I had to go down to 110, 95, 95, 95 to finish sets and shoulders were so spent I couldn't do incline at the end. Is this normal for high cable pec fly or incorrect form ? I usually just stick with standard pec flys and negatives.

It's important just as with a regular fly movement to not put your elbow in a 90 degree angle as I see alot of people do.
I try to keep it 45 degrees, 1 leg forward and that works for me.

I usually have decent form, but it might have went to sh it with the amount of weight I first had on. Well lol it is heavy for me

Sounds like you figured out the problem...personally I hit cable flys as one of my last sets after I have the big compound lifts knocked out....And I keep the weight relatively low for my size (usually 40-50lbs on each cable 80-100 total) and I really concentrate on the pump at that point....making sure I contract the muscles at the peak of each rep and really let it stretch me out on the way out. Try lowering the weight a bit and hold it for a 2 count when your hands come together and squeeze the crap out of your pecs while your holding it.
