What's the best way to perform flies for hypertrophy?


Slight incline -- Is the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major even targeted significantly enough to actually make a noticeable difference?
Cables -- sitting or standing
Dumbbells
Pec Deck lol


The plane of movement is relatively the same in all of them. I understand EMG studies aren't notoriously accurate, but surely there have been some solid studies that indicate which activity produces the most stimuli/benefit.

I feel like dumbbells are best, with an incline if you don't have any other incline work. Although some people boast a better stretch from cables.. Anyone shed some light on this?







*Side blinder: what's a great direct hammy exercise for strength?

Strong thread title to post content ratio.

Entered thread expecting something entirely different.

Leaving disappointed.

You're locked and scammer so I will be brief.

Personal best experience is combining the fly (movement) with push.

My chest day contains of:

Bench press
Dumbell press - dumbell fly
Incline dumbell press - incline dumbell fly
Chest press (seated) - pec deck
Push-up, 3 sets until failure

Turn it into a super-set, by doing flies directly after dumbell press.

Man up and do it all.

Db fly
Peck deck
Push ups
Cable fly
Porter airline fly

All the flies!

id suggest going with your country's major airline... typically more costly, but more reliable as well

cable flies allow a slightly bigger range of motion, so i prefer those

pec deck
cable flies too musch shoulder

best way to fly is on an airplane, but personally if i was rich Id buy a helicopter and just land on top of a sky scraper like a CEO10k/day boss

you ought to try all of them and see which feels best for you..

for instance all my friends love db fly, but i can't get a good mmc on those like i can with a upright seated machine fly, or cable fly.
