Anyone here doing incline flys? How good does it work on the upper chest?

[Muphrid]

I'm gonna start doing it today.... switching it with the butterfly machine..
Any tips on how to max the effectiveness?

keep slight bend on elbows, contract at peak, don't touch the dumbells together (keep them separated so you don't lose the tension in your chest). Keep the motion in a smooth controlled manner...

oh yeah.....and squueeeeeeeeeeeeeze

you can add in there, when you come up to the top, you can either turn your wrists slightly inward, "you should feel that higher up top on your chest".

Or you can turn your wrists "palms towards your face" and you should feel that more mid of your chest. Just a different variation in the exercise you can throw in there.

I normally use a cable station for these...move the incline bench/chair between the cables, lower the pully to the bottom on each side and use a handle attachment and do them that way...I feel it's easier to hit the chest since dumbbells can cause you to bend your elbows too much.

I like this variation:

As you bring them down, rotate the db's 90 degrees so the right one goes counter clockwise and left clockwise. At the bottom the top ends are facing each other. As you go up rotate them back ending with palms facing each other.

ahhh, working the RC's too, I'll try that.

I started doing them after months of flat dumbbell flys. Not a bad exercise, especially if you need a change.
