    replacement for flys?

    Can you guys give me a good comparable exercise to dumbell flys? I seem to be getting some shoulder issues doing it just like another poster here.

    not a big fan of the pec deck myself

    cable crossovers do however make a nice addition to a chest routine.

    Yup I agree. I did some cable flys today for the first time in a while and they were great. I did them so that they hit everything from my shoulders to bis to chest.

    They are all "fluff" exercises. I don't bother. I don't really have a chest though so what do I know.

    Do what you can without hurting your shoulder... people get hurt by doing movements that are bad for them because they dont want to look like a "girly man" to their buddies with no sense. If hardtrainers pic in his avatar is any indication he needs a tip or two on chest excercises himself.

    I am still waiting for you to follow up on your definition of "fluff" exercises, and in which I think you mean isolation and not compound. But Dumbbell Flyes are isolation as well, in fact according to exrx.net, Standing Cable Flyes ("cable crossovers") hit more areas such as the lats & delts than do dumbbell flyes. So what I am trying to say to you, not in a attacking way, but in an informative way. Read up before you make assumptions.

    Hardtrainer, I do flys and cable machine every chest workout. I find it works really well.

    Maybe you should try it. If you already have and find it's pants you are probably not doing it correctly. If thats the case, ask someone for pointers
