@madscientistofmuscle: How I do dumbbell flyes with my "crunchy" shoulders (this is the form that works for ME, not necessarily "textbook" form). I have some weird structural things going on in my shoulders... when I hold them a certain way and internally and externally rotate my shoulders, they make audible crunching noises. I find some movement patterns just aren't doable for me (e.g. underhand bench press). Flyes are an excellent stretch exercise for the chest. This is a rundown of the form that works for ME. If you have similar shoulder issues, it might work for YOU. 1. Start with the dumbbells facing each other at the top, arms vertical, shoulder-width apart. 2. Slowly lower the weights down and to the sides (always under control). As you do so, rotate your hands about 45 degrees so that your palms are more facing your feet. 3. I bring my upper arms directly out to the sides to just below horizontal. This gives me the best pain-free movement path and pain-free limit to the range of motion while still getting a good stretch. 4. ** KEY... at the bottom, I retract my shoulder blades, pushing my chest up/forward. This puts the best stretch on the pecs. Hold that stretch at the bottom for a few seconds...keep exerting tension in the bottom stretch. 5. You'll notice my elbows are kept at about 110-120 degrees or so for most of the movement. I found a bigger angle put too much stress on my biceps and limited the weight I could use (you have to balance loading with safety on flyes). 6. Now bring the dumbbells up. In order to not turn it into a press, start to protract your shoulder blades right away as you bring the dumbbells up. This means push your shoulders forward and flatten your chest. You can see this most clearly in the third part of the video. 7. Only come up until your arms are vertical/shoulder width again. No need to bring the dumbbells fully together. I don't really count reps on flyes. It's more about the stretch and the squeeze. --------------- Want a bigger chest? Try this free 3 week specialization program....

Do you have a tip for shoulder excersizes I can’t really train them at the moment because apparently my bicep tendon in the shoulder is inflamed and hurts when I do overhead presses and raises in most angles

Unflavored jello :

This motherfucker is diabolical

Nate Scrolls :

I see some people recommend rotating their pinky outward like in this video, but then I see some people recommend rotating their pinky inward instead. What's the difference?
