5. FAQ on chest fly
A chest fly primarily works the pectoralis major muscles, which are located in the chest. It also works the anterior deltoids, which are located in the shoulders, as well as the triceps, which are located in the back of the upper arm.
The correct form for a chest fly is to start with your arms outstretched to the sides and bent at the elbows, palms facing each other. Slowly bring your arms up and together in front of your chest, keeping your elbows slightly bent. Pause when your arms are parallel to the floor, then slowly lower your arms back to the starting position.
The number of sets and reps you should do for chest flys depends on your fitness goals. If your goal is to build muscle, you should aim for 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps. If your goal is to increase muscular endurance, you should aim for 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps.
The best way to increase the intensity of chest flys is to use a heavier weight and/or to slow down the movement. You can also increase the range of motion by using a wider grip or by pausing at the top of the movement. Adding a pause at the bottom of the movement can also increase the intensity.
