Kettlebell Flye

BEGINNER

Kettlebell Flye

Kettlebell Flye targets the chest; it also forces a big stretch across your pecs and allows them to move through a greater range of motion, all of which are key factors in increased muscle growth.

Target Muscles

Instructions

  1. Take a couple of kettlebells and lie face down on a flat bench. Raise the dumbbells over your chest and then slightly bend your elbows.
  2. Slowly lower the dumbbells in an arc down and away from your body. When the dumbbells are almost in line with your chest, return to the starting position in the opposite direction. Squeeze your chest muscles together at the top of the movement.

Tips

  • Make sure your elbows are slightly bent throughout the movement.
  • Don't get too heavy too soon. Facilitate your path to learning the exercise.
  • Make sure you feel like your chest muscles are doing most of the work.
