How important are Flys to be incorporated into your Workout routine, and as for developing a big Chest???

DiGiTaL · 05-08-2007, 11:33 AM

very.

lol. Not sure, but I think its to define your chest so it gives it some importance.

Witchblade · 05-08-2007, 12:20 PM

Not important at all.

vortrit · 05-08-2007, 12:22 PM

Stick with the compound stuff for mass.

akiss49ers · 05-08-2007, 12:40 PM

So you use them only for defining your Chest???

NordicNacho · 05-08-2007, 12:42 PM

If they do put on size I don't think it's going to be nearly as much as benching. I'm seriously considering tossing them except for once in awhile.

I love flys. Great for hitting pecs.

kcoleman · 05-08-2007, 01:32 PM

I used to do a lot of benching and flyes with minimal triceps work, now my chest is bigger than the rest of me.

I dont think there any substiute for a compound movement like flat bench/incline bench. However if your looking to change your routine a bit and add some isolation I think they can be quite good.

They are good for a nice stretch of the chest, thats about it

They may not be very "functional" but they are good for developing the chest.

They are not good for developing anything. They are good for stretching the pectorals, thats it. Theres a limited amount of resistance and a limited ROM.

There are much better alternatives.

-There is not a limited ROM...it's huge.
- A huge weight is not necessary for hypertrophy
- An exercise the stretched muscle is one thats about to do some work...if there's some weight.
