Reply With QuoteYou have to be carefull with any fly movement or pec deck, they can be dangerous.
I see no point in doing them, so I dont. If you insist on doing them, dont go nuts stretching out to the floor, and keep them relatively light IMO.

Is it unusual for the shoulders to hurt after doing db flies? I tried them for my frist time 3 days ago and my shoulders are still killing me. Is this common?

Furthermore, it's not very surprising that you got aching shoulders. any types of fly movements involve the shoulder as well.

I'm sorry but you have to find your best exercise on your own. The shoulders are involved in both of them. Just try db flies for a few weeks and you will see whether you like it or not, and what feeling you'll have in your chest. I like both exercises very well. So I do some db flies (incline, decline etc.) for a few weeks or months. Then I change this exercise and do some cable movements.
EDIT: Don't worry, flys are not going to fuck your shoulders up. You will see, after two or three chest workouts, your shoulders will no longer hurt.

Keep your elbows parallel with your shoulders and then lower until you feel a good stretch across your chest. Concentrate on contracting the chest muscle to bring the weight up. If your shoulders are hurting its likely your using too much weight and letting ur elbows lower towards your waist to compensate.
