Whats the purpose of doing pec flyes?

[needsize]

I think flyes, with dumbells and a godd range of motion, are an excellent chest exercise, but that being said, I've always found machine flyes to be a complete waste of time!

Do this to keep strength up...

Example...

Incline BB press 2 X 4-6
Superset
incline flies 1X 5-7
Incline BB press 1 X 5-7

Incline Cable crossovers 1-2 X 8-10

With the above upper chest routine you go heavy on the inclines, but you also get to take advantage on the super set...

fly excersises are a stretch-muscle movement. stretch-muscle movements can increase the muscle facia which means a improved environment for growth potential. do them last in the chest workout, hold in the stretch postion for a 4 count.

thats also true...

this is why when your chest is pumped to the max do 1 last set of flies.

do about 6-8 reps but hold the stretch position for 6 seconds each time.

This is anot a technique one should do all the time, but it is good to use to get some new growth.

they really bring out the cuts in your quads and hams......sorry.

Just do 'em and see what happens, how you feel...
