How to activate chest when doing Dumbell Chest Flys...

How to activate chest when doing Dumbell Chest Flys? I feel like this would be a great exercise but I feel like a lot of tension is on my bis and shoulder even with moderately light weight.

Chest flys are a meme & a waste of time don't do them if you're natty & want to make gains.
& if you're juicing & want to make gains practically every other chest workout will yield better results.

Go lower

The point of chest flies is to stretch the muscles, not to give mechanical tension

straighter arms. that's literally it

Imagine your arms as hooks and only move using your chest. You have to feel a nice stretch at the bottom of the lift.

>ditch every single chest exercise you think is useful
>just do flat barbell bench press for entire chest workout
>enjoy chest gains

just go bench u idiot

nigger what
do you even incline/decline

weighted dips are where it's at though

primarily done dips & flat benching, seems to work for me

You know that scene in Spider Man 2 where he's stopping the train? Whenever I do any sort of flys, I imagine myself stopping the train and it really helps me activate my chest

Anyone who isn't OHP'ing their bodyweight is a massive faggot desu

t manlet

Not him, but I'm a 6'2 lanklet and I can do it. Apply yourself

Try cables instead.

I replaced Flys after Bench with Pushups after Bench.

Much better results.

>Flat bench
>Incline Bench
>Dumbell press
>Press ups
>Dips

Warm up & stretch - Machine chest press

Literally all you need for chest, never believed in decline, feels like more of a shoulder and tricep workout whenever i've done it.

>incline
OHP doea it better
>pressups
Waste of time

I do that too.

>You could've stopped 9/11 kid!
>I missed the part where that's my fucking problem, faggot.
Jesus, Raimi.

It was a different time...

It's no surprise this board disbelieves in flyes, they're an advanced exercise and most of this board is literal dyel faggots (can't even bench 2pl8)

Why is fitness so contradictory
You fags told me to do these ages ago and now you're saying it's a waste of time
What the fuck

The only people who talk shit on chest flies are dudes who literally don't have the chest development to do them

I do them with cables, and standing
