The decline dumbbell chest fly is an upper body isolation exercise targeting the lower chest. It will require less weight than a decline press, which makes it a great hypertrophy exercise with high reps.
Benefits
- Builds size in the lower pecs
- Works the triceps, anterior delts, and core
- Positioning on the bench makes for better isolation and limiting excess momentum
- Type: Strength
- Main Muscle Worked: Chest
- Equipment: Dumbbell
- Level: Intermediate
Chest
Directions:
- Secure your legs at the end of the decline bench and lie down with a dumbbell on each hand on top of your thighs. The palms of your hand will be facing each other.
- Once you are laying down, move the dumbbells in front of you at shoulder width. The palms of the hands should be facing each other and the arms should be perpendicular to the floor and fully extended. This will be your starting position.
- With a slight bend on your elbows in order to prevent stress at the biceps tendon, lower your arms out at both sides in a wide arc until you feel a stretch on your chest. Breathe in as you perform this portion of the movement. Tip: Keep in mind that throughout the movement, the arms should remain stationary; the movement should only occur at the shoulder joint.
- Return your arms back to the starting position as you squeeze your chest muscles and breathe out. Tip: Make sure to use the same arc of motion used to lower the weights.
- Hold for a second at the contracted position and repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.
Variation: You may want to use a palms facing forward version for different stimulation.
