Technique.

  • On a chest fly machine, set the handles so that they start are a little way behind your body.
  • Grab the handles and bring your arms forward with a slight bend at the elbows, squeezing your chest hard as you do.
  • Keep your shoulder blades pulled down and back throughout the movement to isolate your chest muscles.
  • Return to the starting position in a controlled way by performing the movement in reverse.
