#5 Pec Deck Fly
The pec deck fly is an effective isolation exercise that targets the major and minor pectoral muscles. The machine itself acts as a stabiliser and is an excellent exercise for even beginners and casual trainers.
Instructions:
Step 1: Sit on the machine with a straight back. Push your back towards the pad for maximum support and set an appropriate weight in the machine.
Step 2: Hold the handles with the palms facing outwards. Ensure that the upper arms are parallel to the floor during the entire duration of the exercise.
Step 3: Push the handles until they are in front of the body. Squeeze the chest while performing this movement.
Step 4: Hold the contraction for a moment and return to the initial position.
Perform the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
Important tip: Exercise caution while relaxing the arms as an improper form could lead to a serious injury.
