Dwelling chest exercise: dumbbell fly train

Why are comments off? https://scoobysworkshop.com/contact-scooby/ Video clip showing proper form of the dumbbell fly exercise for pecs. Most people focus on bench press for chest but I have found that for me the fly movements have provided the most muscle growth. This is a great home exercise! Here I am doing it on a bench but I actually prefer to do it flat on the floor to limit my range of motion and protect the shoulders. Using a bench you should have a spotter but on the floor you can easily work out alone.
As with any dumbbell exercise, form is key if you want to maximize your muscle building efforts and minimize the chance of injury. Don’t use too much weight, if you can’t do the exercise slowly then you need to go lighter. Count aloud “one onethousand, two onethousand, three onethousand” on the way up and the way down, if you cant do this on this exercise then you are using too much weight. The reason this exercise method maximizes your muscle growth is because it confines the motion to the muscle you are trying to work out, if your body squirms, swings, and kicks, all you are doing is taking the focus away from the muscle you are trying to exercise.
Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

I just checked, this was the second video uploaded to YouTube. Prior to this, I self-hosted this video on my own website and had to pay about 25 cents in bandwidth charges every time someone downloaded it.

What's with all the grunting?
Scooby you are the best. I remeber your beginnings. You helped me a lot. Also vielen Dank 🙂
Wow, deleting spam is a full time job now. I may have to put comments on approval only basis. Who else gets tired of hearing about the "fat blast furnace" and being told to google it???
Do you have your elbows locked out when you do a dumbbell fly?
"I chuckcled… then he got super buff and punched my face in."
If you really want to get a six pack, you might want to make a search on Google for "Aston Muscle Ripper". You are sure to end up getting the body you desire.
real men do barbell flies
It would be a shame if you did not shed pounds when these normal people do it so easily using Fat Blast Lifestyle (Look it up on google).
Are flies an effective exercise for actual chest gains? I have 2 dumbells i could use, as my bench press bar only supports 110 pounds and i dont feel like this is enough to actually work my chest.
i don't want to crash my tablet and die…
My forearms hurt while doing this.
Excellent question! To impress people, bend your elbows about 90 degrees but for a safe workout keep them straight. Why? In this exercise the pecs provide a torque around your shoulder. My pecs are capable of generating about 195 ft-lbs of torque – that is, a force of 65lbs at 3' from the shoulder joint. Now if I bend my elbows 90 degrees, the weight is only 1.5' from my shoulder and with my 195ft-lbs of torque I can now use 130lb dumbbells and not work any harder!
This was one of my earlier videos before I had a microphone on my computer to do voice overs. At some point I will add voice overs to this one too.
I agree, throw in a bit of advice so we can understand why you're doing it the way you are.
That would be great! I'll subscribe to your channel
when i did these i found it was working my shoulders more than anything. my form was as seen in this video, but i really didnt feel much of a burn on my chest.
might i be doing something wrong
that is not good form… your elbows should be bent a bit
maybe around 40-50?
Just a question… how heavy are those weights? cause i want to try out flys …
