Hopefully her husband goes before she does so that she'll be able to clean & press his coffin at the funeral.

When you think about it, dropping your own husband's coffin into a grave is the ultimate alpha weight drop maneuver.

Deadlifting puts my heart in the 170bpm range, that old lady must have a ticker like a punching press. Good on her.

That's a nice old lady pick-up line you just misinterpreted. She was trying to ask you over for her hot moist pie with ice cream while looking at photo albums of her grandkids.

go lighter and loosen your grip so its just resting in your palms, squeeze your pecs at the top

dumbbells flys suck and they create zero tension at the top of the movement.

Oh yeah, no argument there. He is in much, much better shape than I am. (Look at that Feathering on his sides!)

But, especially talking about chest stuff (his chest looks like mine, but his arms... he's easily 1.5 to 2x as strong as I am) - he has some extra work to do before some people will take him seriously.

For someone my size, his chest workout would probably be perfect. But I'm not sure it's working for him.

true, but he makes an actual physiological argument to explain his position.

Homestar Runner

sure, since you asked


My point isn't that the DB fly movement doesn't involve the chest, because it does. However, majority stress of the exercise is felt in the coracobrachialis muscle, which in itself has nothing to do with the development of your chest. I figure that's what the OP was anecdotally inferring.


And since you can't create tension at the top of the movement with dumbbells, you're better off using cables. You'll be able to stack more weight on, in a much safer way.


I'm v sorry if this argument offends you

Flys are dumb anyway and you look like an idiot doing them, cable crossovers make you feel like a badass casting magic missile and are far superior.
