Peck Deck can be really hard on the shoulder joint.......do cable flys instead.. 85% of your chest workout should be 1. Barbell bench press 2. Incline press ( dumbbell or barbell) |

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.How do I do the "fly" correctly? Is it ok if I keep my elbow at 90 degree when I am down? Or should it be only about 20 degree? By the way, how do I do the cable seated pull correctly. Shold by back be stationery or let it lean forwards and backwards? Thanks, Rahula |

Bench and incline press is all you need for chest... And barbell or Dumbbell rows for back....plus pull downs...ups |

Hi,
Thanks. Then, why some websites says that it could injured the shoulder? By the way, do you guys use power bender/twister? Thanks, Rahula |

You can hurt yourself with just about anything if your form is bad. I love the pec deck. You can get a great squeeze off of it. I find it works best with med weight after the rest of my chest work, just to cap it off.
