Hi everybody!
Today I'm going to show you an excellent chest exercise,
the well-known Dumbbell Fly.
For this exercise, you'll just need two dumbbells.
I'll be doing this laying on the floor, why?
To limit the range of motion,
and prevent this way any shoulder injury.
About the position,
you can either bend your knees with your feet close to the butt,
or lift them like that.
The lower back must be on the floor.
Avoid this while doing the exercise,
it's bad for the back.
The lower back should really be on the floor.
About the arms and shoulders:
this is the starting position,
the shoulders are always pulled back,
the arm is not completely straight,
and the wrists are straight.
It's very important.
I see a lot of people who, because of the weight,
let their wrists move like that,
which is really bad for the joints.
We should avoid this.
The movement goes like this.
When you go down, don't let your elbows touch the floor.
Try to focus on the movement.
The movement only happens here.
Let's sum up.
The lower back is on the floor.
Don't do the banana.
The shoulders are pulled back.
The arms are not completely straight.
The wrists are straight.
While releasing, the elbows don't touch the floor.
and we try to do the movement in a perpendicular plane to the floor.
Thanks for watching and see you next time!
