why exactly is it a controversial exercise?
I use 25lbs by the way. Weight is not important as long as the chest gets stimulated.
This exercise gives you more chest width
Just curious as to the kind of weights people were using for this controversial exercise.

MuscleM4n is correct, if I use very heavy weight, my form suffers, therefore my routine looks like this: first set 25lb. to warm up, then 35lb. finishing off my 3rd set with 45lbs.
I altertnate between 15's, and 25's, depends on how froggy the old frog is. How much I did - 150 once, on a pec deck (ouch)![]()
i do
regular fly's 3 sets of 20 @ 25lbs
decline fly's 3 sets of 20@ 25 lbs
incline fly's 3 sets of 20 @ 25 lbs
teh heaviest I ever did on this exercise was 70lb DBs.

Wow. I think my chest is just extremely weak. The most I have ever done is 20s as far as I recall.

I really did 1 rep @ 150 once, on the pec deck on my sons machine. I didn't know it was that heavy, if I had I probably could not have done it. His machine uses plates, so it's pretty accurate.
You have an advantage on a machine though, it's almost like hugging it to death. Not the same as with your arms spread out. You can also lean on it a little.![]()
machines are easier than free weights of course
It still brought on a BIG fart.![]()

I agree, I get a better feel with DBs also.
Out of interest what does Good 'ole Ron Coleman dumbell flye?
My shoulders pop out if I do pec flys or anything like that

I think I went up to 45's I believe...

How much can you dumbell fly?
Ok, I tried this for the first time today. I tried a set of 25 pounders and threw them with all my might. They flew about 24.25 feet.
Tomorrow I'll try from atop a high building and see if I can her a bit more distance and trajectory![]()

Tomorrow: heavy cleans and spins... I clean the weight and then I spin around as fast as possible.

I dislike this exercise - great way to aggravate the rotator cuff.
