Скачать или смотреть Stop Doing Chest Flys Like This

Here’s one of the most common mistakes people make when doing chest flys. This applies to dumbbell flys, cable flyes, and machine flys like the pec deck.

At the bottom position of the chest fly, the straighter your arm is, the more tension will be applied to your chest. However, the straighter your arms go, the more your biceps also get involved. Eventually, there comes a point where your biceps are starting to work harder than your chest is and will become the limiting factor in the movement. To avoid this, at the bottom position, you want to keep a slight bend in your elbows such that your hands are slightly outside your elbows.

Once you get to the top position, the opposite is true. Since the main function of the chest is horizontal adduction, the act of bringing your arms together, you don’t want to keep your arms bent at the top as this would limit your ability to bring your arms together fully. Instead, straighten your arms and think about squeezing your elbows together as you approach the end position.

Keep this in mind next time you do chest flys and give me a follow for more tips like this.
