Whether you are flying or pressing, the anterior delts are always going to be worked as a synergist in both movements. I know Iam new here and im not trying to start an argument, but i'll bet if you used the same weight you are using in your vid performing what is traditionally a fly (slight bend in the elbows, coming out in an arc across the body), you would struggle and have to reduce the poundage.
I never attempt to push the same weight during a press as I do a fly and when performing flys I tend to have the same mentality as I would performing a bicep concentration curl as opposed to a barbell curl, concentrating on the stretch as the reduction in weight alows for me to do so.
Thats just my two p's worth... |
IMO a DB press should look nothing like that.
That is a flye as it isolates my pecs without stressing the triceps.
Next time I train chest I shall do inc DB press and put it up, you will then see there is no comparison.
Any one doing a DB press which resembles that is doing at best a partial movement.
If you read what I said about flyes, you will know that straighter arms do nothing for my chest at all, so it has nothing to do with weight, I use the most I can in the form that hits the muscle best, for me.
