On my chest day i have been doing dumbell flyes but i never know the correct way of doing them.If i do flat bench flyes, when dumbells at the top, should they stay in line with my nipples all the way down and should my elbows have a slight bend in them from the bottom of the routine until the top.I also try to do incline flyes but what position should the dumbells be at the highest point of the routine, still in line with my nipples or below as doing barbell for chest.Whats really confusing me is that when watching other guys doing this exercise everyone seems to do it different ie position of dumbells the bend/straightness of arms, so what is the correct way or is it how you feel more comfortable doing it???????:thumb:
 
When i used to do them id start the rep with the dbs at the top of the movement, put a slight bend in my elbows and keep this the same through the whole rep (so the entire movement would rotate through the shoulders), and take them about as low as i would when i was doing db bench press.

So basically if the arc of my arms was a half circle with the curve on the top, the DBs would start at the 90 degree line straight up, and end up at 0 and 180 degrees thereabouts.
 
Ok when doing dumbell flyes, it doesnt really matter on whatever you just said as long as you're doing it, expecially the nipple position or whatever u said. But your arms should be bent slightly.
After i do them, i always feel tension in my chest after but not as much during the exercise.
