incline flyes

[wild willie]

Love this exercise......only at a slight incline though.....i do three sets of these at the end of my chest routine.....outstanding pump.....nice fullness.....finally starting to fill in my upper chest.

Do you guys dig incline flyes??? Only about 20 or so degrees on the incline bench......teriffic exercise!

As a powerlifter I don't. Don't really see a need (may be wrong), but it is a good exercise for bodybuilders

incline cable flies are great
i havent done any flies since my bicep tear last year
now i just stick to pec deck and cable crossovers

i read in the new muscle fitness to get the inlcline fly feel on the pec deck to hold the handles at the top and to lean back and bring your feet forward

low incline flys are my faves by far, i cant fail but get a fuck off pump everytime

I do them at a 45 degree angle.

I just make sure in the bottom of the movement i open my palms (leaving the dumbells "ungriped" just "glued" in my palms).

Cutler does them this way. awesome stretch and contraction.  

I hope im clear..

If you want to try an interesting variation that, for me at least, seems to work a lot better than a conventional flye, hold the dumbell with your hand right up against the last plate, and instead of having the palms facing 'up' through the movement, keep the thumb facing up instead, so that you're essentially holding the dumbell unevenly and keeping it pretty much vertical to the floor at the bottom stretch portion of the movement.

I've had good gains doing these instead of the normal way and the stretch seems to feel better too.

Yes i have tried this too..it was the way Steve reeves did it. As for Incline flys i do not really like them. They don't feel right for me.

I love heavy low incline flyes,i set it on the lowest incline position and usually use 80-100 lb db and this excersize has thickened my chest better than anything else.I also only do the bottom 2/3 of the excersize as when you go all the way up the stress is on the shoulder joint versus just the pec muscle.
