Machine Fly
In the previous article, we introduced one of the most classic movements in chest muscle training: Dumbbells Birds!
Today I would like to introduce you to the good brother of Dumbbell Fly! Fixed equipment bird!
Because the movements are simple, you can also train everyone’s favorite pectoralis major muscles! I believe the machine fly is the first move that many beginners try when they go to the gym!
Is there any difference between machine flyes and dumbbell flyes?
Same action (shoulder horizontal adduction) with another equipment. What difference would it make?
1.Dumbbell fly is more free, requires more stability, is more difficult, and requires good movement control!
2.The movement trajectory of the flying bird of the equipment is fixed by the track, which does not require the participation of too many stabilizer muscles. It is simple and easy to control, and the weight used will be greater!
Who is better?
Free weights can exercise your movement control ability, are more in line with the human body’s movement patterns, and are better for the long term! No matter how good the fixed equipment is, it may be deformed when it is replaced with dumbbell movements!
However, for beginners, free weights are more difficult to master! At this time, using some fixed equipment will help you experience muscle exertion and find the feeling of chest muscles!
It’s hard to say who is better! You can only choose according to your own situation! If you can't do dumbbell flyes well, it is recommended that you choose a less difficult equipment to do flyes first!
For experienced people, they can be combined with each other as backup actions or alternative actions!
