Dumbbell Flyes (Floor)

Muscles worked

Technique

Setup

Lie flat on the floor with your knees bent and feet flat. Hold dumbbells directly above your chest, palms facing each other.

Movement

Lower the weights in an arc until your upper arms lightly touch the floor. Squeeze your pecs to pull them back to the start.

Form Tip

The floor protects your shoulders from over-stretching. Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the movement.

Increase Difficulty

Add a pause at the bottom or use a slower tempo on the arc.

Decrease Difficulty

Use lighter weights to maintain a strict arc motion.
