Dumbbell Pec Fly

Set up

1. 01Lie fully supine on a flat bench — back, head, and hips on the pad. Feet planted.
2. 02Bells over the chest, palms facing each other. Do not sit up.
3. 03A soft bend in the elbows — that angle does not change.

Cues

• Open the arms in a wide arc until you feel a stretch through the chest.
• Do not drop the elbows below the line of the bench if the shoulder complains.
• Hug the bells back together over the chest. Think 'hug a barrel'.

Breath

Inhale as you open. Exhale as you hug.
