STOP doing this CHEST EXERCISE!

If you are doing chest flys like this, you need to stop immediately. Not only does this not align the resistance at all with your upper chest fibers, making this more of a front delt exercise rather than a chest exercise, but it also looks like you’re one of plankton’s weak ass slaves who carelessly claimed a free chum bucket bucket helmet with the purchase of one or more krabby patties. So to improve this, raise the cables up and take a staggered stance aligning your forearms with the cables, then press the weight forward and up in the same direction of your upper chest fibers, so that your arm path, the resistance and fiber orientation are all in alignment. Doing this will not only make you look like that badass monkey raising up baby simba in the lion king, but it will also allow you to lengthen and shorten your upper chest to its greatest degree making this a much more effective exercise.

You know it's a good day when Max is doing an exercise standing up

[dragulouse]

These references are so random but perfect

Bros slowly becoming the master of edits 💀

[Akram]

Thats not a fly anymore 😭 thats a cable press

[Zergrush]

Do this, do that, don’t do this, don’t do that. I get the bro science but I think the most important thing is that you listen to your body.

Does your targeted muscle area feel worked? Good. Keep going. Form is of course important but there’s a lot of ways to hit the specified area.

That’s no longer a fly though, it’s a press

[jonsnow]

This is why you’re the best fitness YouTuber when it comes to doing the right movements, did these today and had a glorious pump in my upper chest, been doing this exercise wrong for 10 years now 🤧

[ItsNicolau]

The editing of this is immaculate! I laughed so much, and I also learned something. You're the best, Max! 😂

[prashantsharma]

So now you are literally doing dumbbell upper chest but with cables 💀

[laveyyyy]

That’s more of a press than a fly, instead of bringing your arms backwards quite close to your body, have your elbows further out and have a obtuse bend in your arm, and then bring your arms forward, this allows there to be a much better ROM and targets your chest a lot better

[Monkaii]

I knew I felt this more in my front delt. I'll try this next session, appreciate the tip bro!

[guilhermeabreu]

Exactly, do not do an upper chest exercise, do a bad variation of common crossover

Waiting for Mario rios to get angry at him for not mentioning Leon edwards

[lilchromozome]

I started doing this 2 weeks ago and my upper chest gets a much better pump. Thanks for the tip.

[lstaff]

I took your advice and did these yesterday and there's something everyone here need to hear and that the truth and the truth Thank You 😊

[lombardii]

I get what you’re saying but just different movements. Comparing a fly and a press. I think the first exercise is improved by pushing your chest out and full retracting your shoulders. Also works better on certain cables better. I’d also recommend doing an incline fly instead

This is Why I love max euceda's videos.

[Naqnaqasmr]

That Simba reference was a W. I have been doing this now thinking about that scene everytime and it has helped me immensely with my form, right cable path and stability. Thank you Max!

[dawson]

Yooo i did this exercise and it is so effective. I felt the tensions on my upper chests rather than the low flys. Good advice dude :)
