dumbbell flyes variation on flat bench – Consider the origin(clavicle, sternum, ribs, rectus sheath)of the pectoral muscles converging twisted and flat to its insertions(tubercle of humerus, scapula).These muscles got some sick moves(add/flxn/int rot/hor add, scapular movements, etc). Trying to hit them all is to put enough tension/stretch on all angles of its wide base of origin. I start with the weights on top in front of me on a flat bench, elbows slightly bent, internally rotated upper arm, pronated forearm thus putting more tension/stretch on the insertion as I descend. I lower my arms out and to the side slowly aiming a little higher than shoulder level to focus the tension/stretch on the lower chest, the tension/stretch builds up higher on its insertion at the humerus though(stretched and twisted) especially at the bottom. Risk of rupture increases if you go further down so be cautious. I take some of the tension off by untwisting at the bottom, turning my upper arm outwards facing the ceiling with forearms supinated. From there, I scoop the weights from over 90degrees shoulder angle down to 90degrees or a little lower to transfer the tension on the middle part of the pectorals. I stay there for a while and explode back up to the starting position now squeezing the previously stretched pectorals. I keep the scapula retracted all throughout the movement to keep my torso stable. I did 5×8 on this one alternating with a stability workout(medicine ball push-ups). #kilosdavao #122018obrero #davaocity #letsfixyou #therapy #conditioning #sportsconditioning #wellness elderlywellness #occupationaltherapy #rehab #postrehab #maintenance #correctiveexercise #personaltraining #onlinecoaching #nutrition #myofascialrelease #staticdynamicstretching
