Hi /b/.
I feel it in my chest when I do dumbbell flyes. Why does this guy said it's useless?
He says to do one side at time (cable flyes), so there's no risk of ripping off your chest. That's all.

you have to remember this guy comes from a sports background he trains professional athletes and his job is to increase performance while keeping them healthy and injury-free
Feeling something does not mean shit

>mfw I fucked my left pec yesterday doing flyes
>mfw the pain is excruciating
Hold me /fit/

Kind of like Jason Blaha
he doesn't say it is useless, just stupid unsafe
>>35099825
>just stupid unsafe
isn't this common knowledge didn't scooby tear his pec from them arnold too?

Never knew this... I always did db flyes. Not anymore though. Something happened and now for the past 2 years my sternum pops when I do that motion without any weights.
Sometimes I stretch/yawn too hard in the morning and my sternum pops so bad that I am stuck in that position for 20 minutes before I can bear the pain enough to do the fly motion and pop it back so I can move it again.
Never figured out what this was... But probably from db flyes.
Are chest dumbbell flies really unsafe or is it a meme like saying squats are unsafe?

>>35099659
you missed the fucking point, rewatch that video
>>35099639
I get his point but I think he's not talking about the exercise I'm doing and I'm doing it for a different reason
but it's good to think through these things and the fucking psychics of it
This guy is here to lecture beginners, when you know what you're doing flies are perfectly safe.

>hi /b/

You really think that heavy squats is a 100% safe exercise even with perfect form?
>>35100577
Of course not, but nothing is 100% safe all the time. That doesn't mean it's a dangerous activity.
>>35100755
So you have never browsed any injury threads in /fit/?
i like flyes desu
>>35100577
>Y can be dangerous, so we shouldn't care if X is dangerous or not
10/10 relative privation fallacy
Yes, heavy squats is a 100% safe exercise with perfect form. The adjective "heavy" seems to suggest something "too heavy". Obviously that's not nice, with any exercise. If you try to squat 3pl8s 4*12 when your 1RP is 2pls8 - just to impress some grill around you - obviously you're asking for it. This is something that's true with ANY exercise.

Dumbbell flies can be dangerous for your rotator cuffs. You should always check for the position of your shoulder blades (and keep them in place) for the whole duration of the exercise and you should keep the arms correctly bent and a little lower than with a dumbbell press.
Dumbbell chest press is the safe alternative; plus it's a compound exercise.
I feel that compound exercises (for chest/core/shoulders at least) are always better than isolated ones, for insertions but also for the average 4channitor uselessly brosplitting (you keep more muscles in check even if it's not their day)

well yeah that is exactly the basic squat and deadlift meme spouting
yeah they're great excercises if you can do them with proper form
no they are not suitable for literally every person, there is no reason to fuck up your hip joint trying to reach depth when you're physiologically unable to
no, it's not a great idea to squat 3 plates after getting spinal fusion for 3 vertebrae. (actually read that here a while ago)
honestly, anyone taking fit's advice on actually important shit must be just plain retarded, there is some great advice here but only between 20 posts from complete dyels who have torrented SS and think they know shit
