Cable crossover and Dumbbell flyes are great chest exercises.

The variation of dumbbells is extremely useful for a small person like me kzread.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 But the dumbbell size being large it's hard to do certain exercises like deadlift ( I have to have my hands and legs a bit wider to accommodate the size of the DB )Otherwise happy with the purchase. No excuse not to lift weight when it's snowing outside.
Key points: - Start with a lightweight, as this is an isolation movement. - Maintain a fixed position for the joints, keeping a 10-degree bend at the elbow. - Avoid moving elbows or wrists during the fly, and instead turn elbows up to maintain wrist alignment with the elbow. - Maintain four points of contact on the bench: feet, butt, upper back, and head. - Keep elbows under the wrist and maintain a 10-degree bend while slowly contracting and expanding the chest muscles. - Avoid rolling shoulders forward as the dumbbells come together, instead keeping shoulders retracted back. - Breathe in on the way down and brace with abs and core, breathing out as the dumbbells close.

Just wondering, I only have heavy dumbbells (22.5 lbs each, heavy for me), would it be a problem if I still used them for dumbbell flies and did fewer reps?

thx bro
Absolutely love this series, awesome work Adam. Even for someone who's been lifting for years, there are always things we can learn and you do a great job of really breaking it all down. Can't wait to see more!
This is actually pretty useful. Thank you. Although we may think we know everything, there’s always something new to learn.

Short and concise. No blah blah blah, straight to the point and clear instructions. God level explanation. Thank you, sir!
I just listened to the Eight Exercise Combos for Maximum Gains Podcast. I haven't ever done flat bench fly's before always incline. Thanks so much for highlighting the flat bench fly's. Then of course I googled proper form and Adam covers everything perfectly. Thanks guys, you guys are the best! I really appreciate the no bs, no bells and whistles approach to training.
Within 30 seconds of the video I subscribed. Best explanation ever. Newbie weight lifter here and I thank you.
I'v been weightlifting for over 20 years and you broke this down in a way that is easy to understand.
Your videos are straight to the point, no self-promotion crap. Thank you for your good advice.
I must say out of all the form videos, Adam seems to explain everything very clearly and easy for anyone to follow, enjoy learning here as a pose to the bigger channels
Clearest, best description on KZread. Thank you!
Been doing machines for the past year and wanted to start using the free weights your videos helped a lot!! Thank you
This video is so informative and has really helped me any and all questions I had about Dumbbell flies. Man, this exercise really really burns FAST. Thank you so much
Honestly one of the best videos on the movement I could find. Great work
So helpful. I was having shoulder pain while doing these and it must have been my arm/wrist alignment - made some tweaks that have helped.
I don't make comments on KZread but I came across this video and this was so informative. I shy away from doing weights in the gym unless I'm with my trainer then I'm more comfortable. I'm going to start working out on my own so this morning I figured I had better get out of my comfort zone and try the weights. I played your video and was listening to you while I was doing this exercise making sure I was doing it correctly. I will look for more of your videos to help me while I venture out on my own in the gym! Thank You!
best instructory video I've seen in a while, thanks man
Great job Mind Pump TV, I really like the way you guys address mechanics on your videos.
This is a brilliant video. Couple of mistakes I was making had put me off dumbbell flys. This fixed them so thank you
I love the no bs approach and the just get into the workout approach. Video is really helpful. Some videos are ten -fifteen long for a simple workout because most it is fluff.
This is one of the best demonstrated and succinctly explained fitness videos I've ever seen
I just recently came across your channel and I love it. Your detailed tutorials and explanations are awesome. Keep up the good work.
I'm a beginner and this was incredibly helpful, thank you!
Great explanation. Thank you for such clarity!
Really dug the insight on this. Helped clear up some confusion I've had with fly's for awhile. Subbed
fantastic explanation. very helpful. thank you very much !
Thanks for your help!
Thank you for the detailed explanation! My shoulder was hurting while doing these because it was rolling my shoulders forward as you mentioned.
I have watched quite a few videos of workout. But this is the only video that mentions how to breathe while working, which I found very useful. Thanks a lot!
Excellent video 👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥 great detail and explanations for every part of this exercise
thank you! my trainer moved away and now i’m on my own at the gym six months into lifting. this was a great tutorial!
This was legit the best video about an exercise tutorial I have ever seen. Very underrated channel and keep it up fellas. Love from Australia!!
I had some pain in mi shoulders when i first started the dumbell fly . After looking several times at this video together with mi friends we started to do as explained. Really helped me gettin rid of that pain shoulders. Thnx
Perfect form. Great contribution.
This is a great video. Very discretion discretion and answers common questions with excellent detail, that doesn't leave you with any vague "what if "
Thanks Adam. You're to go-to guy when I want to check and improve my technique.
I can't believe I have been doing this wrong for so long. Best video I've found so far!
Awesome Very informative
got a lot out of this. Thanks. Always get told to squeeze the chest at the top. Glad you explained that part
Loved your video on "skull crushers" with dumbells. Since then I have started following you
Great video, thank you!
Awesome infos. Thanks bro
The most well thought out and thorough video of a DB FlY!
Awesome breakdown, cues
Thank you for a great video. It doesn’t matter how long we do this it’s always good to check form for maximum performance
Extremely detailed and informative!
Great video. Thank you 😊
Very helpful! Thank you!!
excellent detail
Thank you for the pointer when the arms are closing-in. I definitely did that before and never noticed that it was poor form and rolling my shoulders inwards..
So meticulous and precise. Thank you for offering your insight.
Excellent and well detailed
i love this, new subscriber but learning SO MUCH and it really excites me too so ive started building a home gym although at the moment its just a few dumbells and and bench but thank you
Thanks for the very detailed breakdown of this classic move Adam. I look foward to more.

honestly the fixed elbow explanation and demonstration was super helpful. Thanks!
Great video!
your channel is just perfect. The way you explain things is very good
Feels pretty useful. I am going to follow this advice.
As a new PT this was very helpful. Subscribed!

thanks dude, i’ve always had garbage form with chest flies
Thank you Adam. Lots of good information.
Brilliant explanation and cues, thanks so much
Thanks so much ur very thorough, much detail thx
Excellent detail, great video.
Really helpful! thank you! great workout
Everything was explained in details 👌
Explained it very well. Will use this today!
Great video on the chest fly. Seems I have been doing it mostly wrong. I am fortunate to have found your video before hurting my shoulders. Worked for me first set. I believe that not flaring but turning elbows under, slightly bending the arm and not going down so far. and use lighter weight. I would bet 90% of those who see your video are doing just what I have been doing wrong. Thanks! Doug H. FL.
it’s my first day at a gym tomorrow, your advice is so helpful
nice and easy explanation thank you
Excellent!
I like how you mentioned that you should do what works for you in regards to how deep you should go.
Great information
Thank you much respect bro!
Thanks for this! Everyone listen to this man. I tore my ac joint in my shoulder due to some of the common mistakes he points out here with this lift. Had I seen this video prior to getting into lifting, I would've saved myself from almost two months of recovery and not getting to go to the gym full time
Great video very detailed and informative, thank!
Awesome video
just a perfect video tnx
Shoulders stay retracted back. Noted. I completely overlooked this detail for many years! Thank you for confirming this!
I love your channel thanks for the great videos👍🏼🌹
