    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.

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!

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.
