Chest exercises<\/a> are mainly made up of pressing movements that are multi-joint exercises. These require the use of the deltoids and triceps as well as the pectorals. They are considered primary exercises because of the movement of the upper arms. The chest exercises<\/a> are divided up into barbell pressing exercises, machine pressing exercises, fly-type exercises, push-up exercises and dip exercises.<\/p>\n

The chest refers to the muscle group known as the pectoralis major. This consists of the upper pectoralis major and the lower pectoralis major.<\/p>\n

Flat fly with dumbbell<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lie supine on a flat bench<\/a> with your feet flat on the floor and your toes facing forward. Hold the dumbbells\u00a0 with your arms extended above your chest and your palms facing one another. Your elbows will be slightly bent. Maintain a slightly flexed elbow throughout the exercise.<\/p>\n

Slowly lower your arms out of the side of your body until your wrists are lowered to about shoulder level. After you\u2019ve done this, lower your arms back to the starting position. Keep the same shape of the arm and wrists. Make sure that you do as many reps as is necessary for the desired results.<\/p>\n
