Dumb Bell Flies, What's the Proper Form?

[MDF99]

Could someone explain the proper form for doing DB Flies, both Flat and Incline. At the bottom of the movement when you're stretched out, describe the proper angle that upper arms make in relation to upper body. How much do you bend your elbow? Do you ever lock out elbow or even come close to locking it out at any point during the movement? Is the elbow supposed to stay bent the same amount throughout the movement? I've been using a Fly Machine, and want to try DBs instead. Thanks Bro's.

Check out this site. It'll show you the proper form on all excercises. Go to the "Animated Excercises" link.

just pretend you are hugging a big barrell- slow movement and big stretch at the bottom- i never "knock" the weights at the top just a good squeeze- you can vary the angles depending on what you like....

for extra intensity, try thumbs out flys, attempt to touch elbows together squeezing pecs hard
