cable flies

[chilly tulip]

First looking at it I think I need to bend over a bit more but I’m sure there’s more

And slightly slower on the eccentric I think

[chilly tulip]

And also these

[urban ledge]

go further back for all of these

also why are you doing 3 cable fly variations

[chilly tulip]

I do them on different days but just wanted to make them all into one form review

[chilly tulip]

What about the arm movement is it fine ?

[urban ledge]

my question remains

[urban ledge]

maybe if you go further back

[chilly tulip]

Lower middle and upper chest ?

[chilly tulip]

Okay got it

[urban ledge]

not really how that works for sure

[random igloo]

oh these flies

thought u meant like pec deck

it’s possible ur shoulder hurts bc ur doing 3 fly variations and it’s fatigued

lmao

[potent tendon]

u can do low-high flies for upper chest, dont listen to anyone who says the chest is 1 muscle

3 fly variations is alot tho

2 max

upper and lower chest, middle chest does not exist

[chilly tulip]

I did but I ended up just showing these as there was another person in the way

[chilly tulip]

I do them on different days though

[chilly tulip]

Yeah I realised pec dec kind of hits the middle anyway

[chilly tulip]

is it also because i go to far back with the arms putting more strain on my shoulders?

[chilly tulip]

also should i be in line with the cable or like just a small step infront ?

instead of so far forwards

[urban ledge]

wdym in line with the cable

[chilly tulip]

fort this one

shoudl i take a step back and bend over a bit more ?

[urban ledge]

take a step forward so your arms go further back

you’re like half repping this

or 3/4 repping

[chilly tulip]

i feel it in my shoulders when i go further back though on the reps thats the same with machine pec flies

[urban ledge]

where in your shoulders

[chilly tulip]

id have to do it to see exactly but mostly around mid delt and some front

[urban ledge]

pain or just a stretch?

[chilly tulip]

its more of a pain than a stretch or well a bit of both

should i just drop my shoulders and then try going further back

[urban ledge]

wym drop your shoulders

[random igloo]

possibly, could be lots of things though

if u only notice pain in the bottom portion of the ROM it could be a mobility or form issue

likely a form issue

[chilly tulip]

well i dont know exactly how to explain it but its like if i put ym arms parralel to my shoulders i can lift them into my neck or drop them down and slightly back

[chilly tulip]

should i just try doing it slightly futher back to see if it maybe stretches out?

[random igloo]

wdym

[chilly tulip]

currently im doing 3/4 of the rep because im not going far back enough

and Laureate said it could be a stretch

[urban ledge]

yeah they should always be down like this

your lats should be flexed/firm

so part of that is a form issue

part of that might be because you're doing a lot of cable flies

[chilly tulip]

yeah ill just switch to one day upper the other lower

[urban ledge]

bro wont follow a premade routine sadge

[chilly tulip]

sadly its a thing i refuser to do

idk why i dont like it i tried 2 and some of the exercise i was doing wrong fixed my form and still couldnt feel it comapred to some other exercises

[urban ledge]

how you feel it doesnt change whether or not it works

[chilly tulip]

yeah i know that it still works the muscle even if i dont feel it i just prefer following my own routine just a preference and i prefer exercises i feel it in

[urban ledge]

silly stance to take as someone new to strength training and inexperienced in the gym

you're designing the wheel instead of just using a perfectly functional wheel

[chilly tulip]

yeah i guess so i looked at other routines and stuff and then changed it a bit to how i prefer it

[random igloo]

how u prefer it seems to be hurting ur shoulder

lmao

[potent tendon]

whats ur point

@chilly tulip ur shoulder pain is form related

look at videos of chest fly forms, low to high and high to low

2 chest flies maximum

[potent tendon]

get rid of this 3rd fly u did where the cables are set middle height

for the low to high chest fly i recommended setting the cables at knee/hip height,

because ur using a lot of front delts doing it from the bottom height

[potent tendon]

this so that your arm movement will be similar to an incline dumbell press but with straight(slightly bent) arms

and always chest out on flies, dont slouch/protact the shoulders

[urban ledge]

ngl i have rarely if ever seen you give useful advice, you should stop

[potent tendon]

?

doesnt mean i cant give any

[chilly tulip]

yep already done

[chilly tulip]

so would u say its more form related? i kinda think it is no?

ill try dropping my shoulders and see if its better

[random igloo]

lmao

[random igloo]

it’s probably an overuse thing my dude

[chilly tulip]

okay ill try do less and see how it goes

[urban ledge]

its at least partially form from what it sounds like. Especially when you go further back

[urban ledge]

it specifically means that

[potent tendon]

what makes u think i dont know what im talking about lol

u cant even tell whether my advice is actually useful or not

[urban ledge]

lol

[potent tendon]

tell me in what way my advice is bad
