When done right, flyes can be a great chest-building exercise.   The bench press and its variations still remain the go-to exercises to build size and strength in the chest. But don’t discount the dumbbell chest flye and all its pec-pumping versions. The beauty of this exercise is that it takes much the triceps out of the move so you can focus on the chest just as long as you keep away from some of the common dumbbell chest flye mistakes.

When performed with good form, the dumbbell chest fly will encourage an excellent mind-muscle connection for better gains.

The Back Extension Works Best when You Stop Making These 4 Mistakes

by admin in Workouts 0 comments
It’s not a flashy move, but back extensions are critical for strength and stability,   There’s a movement term that Tim Anderson of Original Strength came up with: good, better, and best. Even when a movement is performed poorly, it is still “good” because all movement beats sitting on the couch. But the amount of times I’ve seen lifters make back extension mistakes throughout the years puts Tim’s ethos to the test. The back extension exercise, when performed correctly, targets the lower back, glute, and hamstring muscles through a large range of motion, allowing for greater strength and hypertrophy. And It’s a highly versatile exercise that can be loaded in several ways for added size and strength. The trouble is this exercise is either neglected for far more TikTok-worthy exercises or just rushed through sloppily. Correct form works “best” with the back extension. Here we’ll learn how to do this awesome exercise, what is needed, and some common back extension mistakes stopping you from getting the best out of it.   How To Do The Bodyweight Back Extension Secure your feet on the back-extension machine with your hips above the padding. Cross your arms over your chest. Then keep your […]
