just cant really seem to feel dumbell flys

[nuknuk]

I have done dumbell flys all my life, but today I got to thinking. I just never feel them in my chest. So from here on out I will use a machine or cables.

I always go as wide as I can handle and then bring the dumbbells so that my pinky fingers are facing and it squeezes the pecs a good bit

db flys always worked for me, I do them arnold style....not to heavy with a deep stretch...

I use bob chicerello cable fly. Dont know if I can find it on youtube but its one arm at a time, holding on with the other. It crushes my chest, pump wise that is. I also get zero feel from dumb bell flys. Look at dorians blood and guts when he does them, you can see his chest working and they obviuos worked for him but not me

with flat flies try to end your motion with the dumbells being below your chin not straight ahead when theyre above your head

and with incline flies, keep a slight bend in the elbows and point the dumbells out when in the middle of the motion. if ya reall feel pec dec is better stick with a brother, everyone is different!!

I read a simple trick that helped. The bottom position should be like a press. Arms bent at 90 degrees. At the top try to envision palms pressing together...although they won't cause db's will touch.

You can't go heavy on this type can you? Just doesn't seem like you'd be able to
