Single Arm Pec Fly - Bench, Dumbbell

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Start by lying on your back on a bench with your feet on the ground. Have a dumbbell in one hand and press it up straight up over your chest with your knuckles facing the sky. Have a slight bend in your elbow as you lower the weight out to the side. Once you feel enough of a stretch in your pec muscle, pull it back into the starting position.
  • FEEL: You should feel your chest muscles working. 
  • COMPENSATION: Don’t have your elbow straight, keep a slight bend.
