Dumbbell Flyes

Chest · Dumbbell

How to do it

Lie back with the dumbbells up and elbows slightly bent; that bend does not change for the whole set. Open in an arc until you feel the chest stretch, without letting the elbows drop below bench level. Close as if hugging a huge barrel. The movement comes from the shoulder, not the elbow. Moderate weight: this is not about load, it is about stretch under tension. Go deeper than your shoulder allows and what you stretch is the joint capsule, not the chest.
