Dumbbell is a very commonly used equipment in our fitness process. It is also very helpful for our fitness. The most classic dumbbell movement is the dumbbell fly. Simple, but very helpful for building muscle. So which muscles do dumbbell flyes work?

1. Which muscles are trained by dumbbell flyes:

Dumbbell fly movements are generally divided into two types, supine dumbbell fly and bent dumbbell fly. The two movements are different, so the parts of the body exercised are also different. Generally speaking, the supine dumbbell fly exercises our chest muscles and our triceps, while the supine dumbbell fly exercises more of our latissimus dorsi and arm muscles. Next, I will explain to you the key points of the two different actions.

2. Supine dumbbell fly

First of all, to do the dumbbell fly, we need to use dumbbell equipment and a bench. The supine dumbbell fly requires us to lie on a bench first, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Before the movement starts, we first place our hands on our chest. The action officially begins. Hold the dumbbell and slowly open it. Note that during this process, our arms need to be parallel to our shoulders. When our elbows and shoulders are in a straight line, the action is completed. At this time, our elbows are bent at 90 degrees. Note that you need to exhale when you open your arms to do flyes, and inhale when you relax and retract the dumbbells.

3. Bent-over dumbbell fly

Bentover dumbbell fly requires us to lie down on the bench first, holding a dumbbell in each hand, and then in a relaxed state. When the movement officially begins, we need to lift the dumbbell to do the bird fly. This movement of lifting the dumbbell is very big. Part of it relies on the strength of the shoulders, so it can exercise our latissimus dorsi very well. The breathing method is similar to the supine dumbbell fly method, exhaling when exerting force and inhaling when relaxing.

Being able to do dumbbell flyes is very helpful for us to exercise our back muscles, chest muscles, and arm muscles. Moreover, this action is simple and the equipment is simple. The safety factor is also very high during the exercise. Both men and women can do it. Okayan action.
