Decline Dumbbell Fly

Decline dumbbell fly exercise is a great exercise for bringing out the lower pecs while enhancing the separating line between the two pecs.

It’s an ideal exercise for building maximum strength and for further breakdown of muscle fibres.

Going slow to keep maximum tension on the muscle is best for this exercise.

Decline Dumbbell Flys Exercise How To

• Position yourself in a decline bench, preferably with your feet tucked under foot pads to keep yourself steady.

• Once you’re in this position and comfortable, slowly lower the dumbbells down to the sides as you adopt a slight curve in the elbow joint.
