Expand your Chest with the Dumbell Fly

[MazdaArai]

Lol @ huge plates .

[j7512]

What kind of dumbells are those... those are damn huge!

[jlvi13]

@j7512 Those are loose plates mostly used on a barbell. 22 pounders (10kg). The total weight of the dumbbells in this video are 25kg, for bench pressing I use 30kg

Hi! You'll get a better workout by extending the arms without locking the elbows, 90 degree puts less tension to the chest and its like cheating to lift heavy weigths. Try that.

Also, by doing the exercise on the floor is easier to leave the dumbells and to limit the range of motion of the shoulder so it does not get deeper than it should.

Great channel and great videos, I really like your style ;)

Hi, what do you think about kettlebell? Did you try these?

[jlvi13]

@datengubella Never gave them a try, because I prefer dumbells and a barbell. You can't do bench presses with kettlebells in an effective way and there are a lot of exercises that I like that can't be really done with a kettlebell. I do prefer a kettlebell over machines though, because I like freeweights.

@jlvi13 I know what you mean, but kettlebells training is also different from

barbells or dumbells, you do your workout with a decentrate weight and

you can working on your skills with a balistic or grind esercises. You

can try and see the diference:) compliments for your workouts, I

follow you on your training:)

So, do you follow the common rule of using a weight that allows you to perform the exercise about 8 or 10 reps per set? And then do 3 or 4 sets? I know the purpose of this video was to show how to perform the exercise properly…but I was just wondering about your personal routine.

[jlvi13]

@StevenSWM My personal routine is like this:

2 sets of incline bench presses (67kg)

2 sets of bench presses (67kg)

1 set of incline dumbell fly (50kg)

1 set of normal bench press (50kg)

Together with that I do about 700 push ups a week and 200-300 dips.

[benniturd]

@jlvi13 That's a good routine. I bet you'd grow more though if you scrapped the push-ups.

[69ingChipmunksss]

@jlvi13 700 push ups and 200-300 dips.

Eventhough this is an old comment of yours, I really hope you train more effective than that. That many push ups and dips are completely useless.

[jlvi13]

@69ingChipmunksss Yes, of course, everything completely changed. It would be incredibly stupid to keep the very same workout routine for 1 full year. Now I only do 50-60 push ups a week, and work out my chest once a week with 3 sets of 8 superslow wide dips, 3 sets of 8 bench presses (85% max weight) and 3 x 8 dumbbell flys. My vision on working out, nutrition and even life in general has changed a lot, but that's what every person should do who wants to make progress.
