by admin in Workouts 0 comments

Chest training is so important to a certain type of gym bro that they’ll dedicate every single Monday to the endeavor, posting up at bench press stations around the nation to pump through round after round of reps to build a barrel shape at the top of their torso. For far too many of these trainees, however, their International Chest Day exploits start and end with that bench press session. They might be focused on the number of plates on the bar, but unless they have a powerlifting competition in their sights, they should be even more fixated on the muscle contraction at the top of the lift. That’s where they’ll have the most success in building their chest muscles, and there are other exercises, like the bench dumbbell fly, that will be much more effective for targeted growth. The goal of the dumbbell fly is to move in a slightly different way that you do during other chest-focused exercises like presses. When you perform a fly, you adduct the chest muscle, which means squeezing the pecs to move your arms inward toward the midline of your […]
