bodybuilding exercise: incline dumbbell fly

Video clip showing proper form of the incline dumbbell fly exercise for pecs. Fly type exercises have done far more for my pec development than the pushing type exercises. In doing flys, make sure that your arms do NOT go behind the plane of your body as this puts too much stress on the shoulder joint. If you dont have a incline bench, you can make one as I have done here by tying a 2x8 securely to a coffee table. This exercise is best done with a spotter for safety, if you must do it alone use light weights and high reps.

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.

christ, spend a bit of cash and get a bench. a board tied to a coffee table? what the fuck is THAT? or join a community center if u dont have a lot of cash, most of em are cheap to join and have decent weights, not like this clown.

I actually do have a incline bench that I bought used. Not everyone has the money for a gym membership or the room for an adjustable incline bench and I wanted to show in this video how with a bit of creativity you can make one that easily stores in a closet.

ok fair enough. anyways, for doing exercises on benches that fred flinstone would have used, ur friggin huge pal. u have a strict diet as well?

[scooby1961]

:) Yabba Dabba Doooo!

If I ate what I wanted to, I would be a blimp. It's a constant battle for me to keep lean but I am motivated by the fact that so many sports that I like doing require my weight to be as low as possible.

Please don't listen to stupid remarks. I was once 303lbs. Now I am down to 265lbs. and everyone says I look so much better. All the advice you give is spot on. Thank you for helping me get over my plateau. Salaam. Good point GXPITA!

[scooby1961]

Sure enough!

Thanks, very informative- but I have to mention something. Your sprawlingly open legs right in the camera while wearing tights made me have to minimise this, it makes it alittle uncomfortable to look at in public.

stupid ads keeping popping up about legal steroids :@

in this video instead of putting the board on a coffee tabble could i put it on my bed and do the incline exercises well?

[twopinacoladas]

Great videos, I have been doing a bunch of these with my total gym bench and dumbells I think I will try using a little more incline like you have there. I got sick of fixing the cable on my total gym every few months last summer as they always break glad I finally started using free weights for exercises much happier.
