    chest fly...push or pull

    is a true (proper form) DB chest fly considered a push or pull exercise....may seem like a stupid question but if you think about it, the arm is being pulled in to sweep in front of the chest, without using triceps

    Push. The resistance is moving away from the center of gravity of the body.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    Hmm I was convinced it was a push until I read your explanation. I thought the concentric portion is pulling the weight TO the bodys center of gravity... Hmmmmm

    It's pulling it closer to where the imaginary midsagittal plane sits, but that's not the same thing.
