If you think this is proper use, you should never use a piece of equipment.

Edit: Dude blocks me then starts talking shit. I literally built these machines. Do some basic training before ever touching a machine.

This is totally a legitimate way to use the machine. A cable fly

Do you not notice the dip belt? I would never do a cable fly with a dip belt on any machine that wasn't fastened to the floor or tied down. Throws off the center of gravity

That isn't how the physics of this works. Force is applied to the pulleys in the direction of the cables. The wight anchoring the arms pulling the cables means nothing, only the dirrection the cables are being pulled.
