Standing Cable Chest Fly Questions

After steping foward do you want to lean down or do you want to stand up straight? My trainer told me to try to keep straight, but I was looking on youtube at some videos and it seems that they lean way foward.

So if you need to lean foward how many degrees?

I usually slide the pulley up to shoulder length, but I noticed some guys will go higher. Is there a greater benefit for the pulley to be at higher heights than shoulder length?

How far do I want my arms to come back? One guy told me to let them go back to get a stretch in my chest, but another said that I shouldn't go back past my shoulders. So which is it?

Also I'm not sure how to ask this question, but I'll try. I usually do one arm over and then switch to do the other arm over in one set. However, I notice other guys alternate with each arm in one set, but without changing legs out front and stepping forward again. Is this correct form?

Thanks

People will lean forward or raise or lower the cable pulley to mimic an incline or decline fly. Simple as that.

I always alternated which hand was on top on each rep. But I really don't think it matters.
