Pec Deck Fly Machine — Points to Check Today

  • Bring it together with your chest — Focus on squeezing your chest, not your arms or shoulders. (Rolling the shoulders forward and closing with the arms only)
  • Keep your shoulder blades fixed — If your shoulders roll forward, the chest tension is lost. (The shoulders rounding forward as you bring it together)
  • Control the opening — A sudden stretch at the end strains the shoulders. (Releasing the tension so the arms fly open)
