Exercise Description

The dumbbell fly exercise builds chest width and creates that rounded, full chest look. It stretches your chest muscles through a full range of motion for better growth.

How To

1. Lie flat on a bench holding dumbbells above your chest with arms slightly bent 2. Lower the dumbbells in a wide arc until you feel a stretch in your chest 3. Keep your elbows slightly bent throughout the dumbbell fly movement 4. Squeeze your chest muscles to bring the dumbbells back together above your chest 5. Complete your dumbbell fly reps with slow, controlled movement

Form Tips

• Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the entire dumbbell fly movement • Lower the weights until you feel a good stretch in your chest, not past shoulder level • Focus on squeezing your chest muscles together when performing the dumbbell fly • Keep your core tight and feet planted firmly on the ground

Common Mistakes

• Dropping the weights too low past shoulder level, which can injure your shoulders • Using too much weight and turning your dumbbell fly into a pressing movement instead • Moving too fast and losing control of the weights during the exercise
