full range of motion does help yeah, i agree with those 2 about full ROM

written by a dipshit

yea for the most part seemed like general uneducated crappy article

yet some minor good points.

their first point is sorta funny:
There are absolutely no excuses for doing a standing or sitting cable fly. Despite what companies like Bowflex may tell you, the inherent instability of cables makes them imperfect for targeting muscles in a precise way, and the fact that you must stabilize yourself inhibits your ability to lift heavily and efficiently. Cable fly machines tend to force athletes to burn more calories simply stabilizing the cables than they do actually performing the exercise, a ridiculous trade-off that deserves no place in a decent exercise plan. Just use a barbell like everyone else.

no logic

wtf cgbp!? isn't that like #1 GOAT tricep exercises?

he then goes on to say do rows instead of cgbp, how do rows target your triceps -.- then he goes on to say "rows are more of a bicep exercise" the fuck... you also don't have to old that close together for cgbp...

quarter squats aren't an exercise, that's just a half rep.

I kinda agree with smith machine, although i like it for rack chins, and yaeh tricep extensions pretty dumb, you're flinging around 5lb dbs cuz it's such an awkward position etc not gna do much

i agree except, hitting different angles of exercises is also good. like exercises that target rear delts, i can use much less weight than the other sides of delts

muscle stabilization.. one of the same reason people use db's for bench OHP as opposed to bb all the time.

i think flyes are the same as bench press without contribution from the triceps, but they can put pressure on your elbow if it is incorrectly stabilised by the bicep/brachialis, else its just another pec exercice

why did i waste my time reading that shit

lol this a joke?

flies not really too similar to bench... hits same muscle sure, but pretty different

also i see people often go too far back with and risk injury to shoulder and/or pec muscle

and rarely, but have seen it, sometimes people bounce their flies, like barely controlled movement
