How to do it

  1. Sit on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand.
  2. Lie back with the head and back supported and both feet planted.
  3. Hold the dumbbells above the chest with the palms facing inward and elbows softly bent.
  4. Open the arms in a wide arc, gradually rotating the hands through the demonstrated grip change.
  5. Reverse the arc at a comfortable chest stretch and rotate back toward the starting grip.
  6. Bring the weights above the chest without striking them together, then repeat under control.

Common mistakes

  • Bending and straightening the elbows to turn the fly into a press.
  • Lowering the weights beyond a comfortable shoulder range.
