Focusing on the outer part of the chest using Xvest TurboBells Adjustable Dumbbells, the Chest Fly is another way to work on the major muscles of the chest. Since the Chest Fly is an isolation movement, it will make a nice complement to both the chest press and push-ups because those moves are compound. A good idea is to use a lighter weight for flies and you should take care when lowering your arms down to avoid hurting your shoulders or losing control of the dumbbells.
When doing the Flat Flies, Lye flat on a bench, hold the weights directly above your chest with your palms facing towards each other, then bend your elbows slightly and maintain this flexion for the rest of the exercise. Next open your arms in an arc lowering the dumbbells with your elbows locked in a slightly bent position (Imagine opening your arms to give someone a hug). When your upper arms are parallel to the floor, use the same movement to return the weights to the starting position and repeat. You can perform the Incline Flies by adjusting the bench to an incline of 30 to 45 degrees and use the same techniques used with the Flat Flies.
