chest pectorals
Machine flys, also known as pec flys, are done using a machine with two diagonal arm pads facing each other, which allows the user to isolate and target the chest muscles. The exercise involves sitting with the back flat against the pad, gripping the handles with the palms facing inward and bringing the pads together in front of the body, contracting the chest muscles. Like other chest exercises, machine flys can help strengthen and tone the pectoral muscles, which can improve upper body strength and overall physique. It's important to note that proper form is crucial when doing machine flys to avoid injury and get the most benefit from the exercise. Keeping the back straight, engaging the core, and using a controlled motion with the arms can help reduce strain on the shoulders and ensure that the chest muscles are properly targeted. Additionally, it's important to use an appropriate weight for one's fitness level and not overload the machine, as this can lead to injury or ineffective results.
