❎ Bench Dumbbell Fly Tips

• Make sure your arms remain stationary throughout the movement but allow only your shoulder joints to move.
• Avoid banging or touching the weights together when at the top of the movement to keep tension on the target muscle groups.
• Do not squeeze or hold the dumbbells excessively tight because it could over recruit your forearms and biceps, which would reduce stress in your chest muscles.
