Chest Flys - Useless Exercises Or Mass Builder?:
SO, ARE CHEST FLYS A USELESS EXERCISES?
Define useless?
If it’s for muscle growth chest flys are a truly useless exercise. They don’t allow you to use a lot of weight while placing tons of stress on the chest tendons and the rotator cuff.
That’s why the exercise is only useful, if your shoulders can take it and you use the pink dumbbells. In other words – it truly sucks, in our view. You can do it as a light warm-up movement in order to prepare the area but in the long term the true chest power and growth will come from push-ups, dips and the of course the bench press.
The variations of those exercises will forever remain the best chest builders while chest flys are more of sterile movement meant to pump your pecs before posing or going to the club.
BUT SCOOBY SAYS HE BUILT HIS PECS WITH CHEST FLYS?
Scooby Werkstatt a.k.a. the guy with the biggest pecs on YouTube is known for his affection to chest flys. He has enormous pecs and many videos dedicated to this particular movement. Cool, or is it?
We can’t deny that the man has some inflated pecs, but that doesn’t mean he got them by doing solely chest flys. He is also performing a lot of other exercises and has a highly questionable natural status – the older he gets, the bigger he becomes. Weird, isn’t it?
