Standing Chest Fly Instructions
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, your arms out to the sides, and hold a dumbbell in each hand.
2. With your palms facing forward and your elbows directly under your wrists, raise the dumbbells until your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
3. Bring your elbows and forearms toward the midline of the body and then return to the starting position.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Breathe out as you bring your elbows and forearms toward the midline of the body and squeeze the chest. Relax your chest, maintain your upper arms parallel to the floor, and keep your arms at a 90-degree angle. The movement should only happen at the shoulder joint.
