How to Perform Chest Fly
Sit on the chest fly (pec deck) machine and adjust the seat so the handles or pads are level with your chest. Place your forearms or hands against the pads and keep your back flat against the backrest. Begin with your arms extended out to the sides with a slight bend in your elbows. Bring your arms together in front of your chest in a wide arc by contracting your chest muscles. Pause briefly at the front while squeezing your chest, then slowly return to the starting position with control.
