    You’re so right. Flies are by far better for hypertrophy than presses : greater range of motion, insane stretch, no triceps.

      @@anab0lic I agree. That is pure logic. I barely do compound movements - only as a warm-up or when I lack time for the current training session.

    absolutely love the bench supported cable fly and have also found it to provide superb chest activation. I have always struggled with routine barbell presses and dumbbell bench flys with maintaining proper form and chest activation versus delt activation, but not so with bench supported seated cable or pec deck flys. Great video Eric, love the scientific proof videos!

    As an MD, using objective data to support something is superior to subjective data. I’m all for spending my time performing exercises supported by some EMG data vs guessing what is best.
    These videos are elite and I appreciate you investing your time in these data driven videos. We will all benefit greatly.

  • @INTJames
    @INTJames Před 3 měsíci +1

    I have a feeling flys are best too if you think about the main 3 functions of the pecs, shoulder adduction, shoulder depression, and horizontal adduction. Horizontal adduction is what we're training when doing presses and flys, and if you look at what the horizontal adduction function looks like it's pretty much a fly. Just makes sense that flys would be best since it's the main function of the pec.

  • @anonichocolate
    @anonichocolate Před 21 dnem

    I think it would be great if you can then take the top 3, and delve even further.
    So for example, the machine flyes to work out the ideal heights and seat position, how low or high the handles are etc and how much it effects the readings, or you could do heavy lower reps, vs lighter longer sets etc for machine flyes specifically, and also compare the handles. (Then call the video 'Determining the Ultimate way to Use Machine Flyes')
    and same with the 90 degree cables, like, ok, we've established 90 degree seating is best, but how about now using different cable heights, so again, doing the low to upper flyes, mid chest flyes, and high to low flys. (as previously they were all standing/bent over).
    Or do that, but then compare them to 90 degree seated PRESS movements, so same low to upper, mid height, high to low, PRESS. so we get clear results of same 90 degree bench, same cable start positions, but press vs flyes.
    But also with both of those there are many positions our hands can end up, like we can keep our hands quite high and have the arm stretch sort of 90 degrees in front of us, or we can even sort of bring the arms down to our belly, or even bring the arms/hands in front of us upwards at like a 45 degree angle. all of these slight adjustments can massively effect the area of the chest it hits and the activation of the muscles (which is why i love mixing them all up and using cables more than anything).
    One I would personally love to see, and something i stand by, is that with all these chest fly movements, (or some of the presses), is to touch the inner wrists with each other so you're almost ending in a supinated position. Would be cool to see that compared to NOT rotating the wrist and touching inside and just keeping the hands static and pronated throughout.
    Make sense?

    • @mightylordkuba
      @mightylordkuba Před 3 měsíci

      It all depends how you recover. You can do all these crazy high intense sets but your volume have to be lower. Most these sience guys say that it is not benefcial to do all sets to falure and beyond. On bulk I can do only 4 intense sets of squats or hack sqat and cannot walk for 3 days. When I do more it is overkill. If you want to spend less time in the gym you need to train more intensive and in oposite more volume - less intense. If flys are not so great you can do extra set and it will be the same stimulus as this 90 cable fly. If your chest feel sore after workout and it is lagging and you do not progess in weights more intese workuts are not great option. You may be doing too much. If you do not progess and you do not feel sore at all train more intensive. Ofcourse diet need to be on point.
