How to Do Dumbbell Chest Fly Floor

Form Cues

1. 1

   Maintain a slight bend in the elbow throughout — never lock out

2. 2

   Feel the stretch across your chest at the bottom

3. 3

   Keep the arc of motion consistent — imagine hugging a large barrel rather than pressing

4. 4

   Lower only as far as feels comfortable in the shoulder joint; the floor limits range naturally here

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Bending the elbow too much — turns the fly into a press and removes chest stretch

• ●

  Using too much weight — flies are an isolation movement, chase the stretch and squeeze over the load

• ●

  Letting the dumbbells drift toward the head instead of straight out to the sides at the bottom
