QUOTE(diablokun @ May 9 2009, 11:12 AM) now that you've mentioned it, I think you're right...TS should mentioned wether bench or standing...bench db press or db press (sitting or standing) and bench db flys or db flys (sitting or standing)... which one did he referred to ?? Relax bro...I just a beginner who quite new about the those ' bodybuildings terms and workout style'..hehe  I think is bench db press as shown in this youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArOnpCDL04Q ( which I followed) Added on May 9, 2009, 8:40 pm QUOTE(king-kong @ May 9 2009, 10:54 AM) wau bro 8kilo???vry good bro...keep going haha...thx...maybe I gt the strength but wrong way to do proper workout Added on May 9, 2009, 8:42 pm QUOTE(diablokun @ May 9 2009, 02:48 AM) could you be more specific ?? how's your positioning ?? but for the burning sensations, imo i think that it is normal to feel the burns on your arm 1st... my style of chest fly is similar to this 1..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffCBFT1OmgY...(which I followed too..) Added on May 9, 2009, 8:56 pm QUOTE(tineagle @ May 9 2009, 10:22 AM) when you do your fly, are your arms stretched out wide in a horizontal manner? At first my arms streched out wide horizontal but then feel that my arms is like going to break into 2...haha You may want to try bending your elbows inwards to form a 90degree/45degrees(see which works better for you) angle upwards and then do your flys. You will be able to isolate the chest and make sure your biceps aren't getting the workload instead. As for the presses, your triceps may be getting hit too hard. But normally this happens when you use a straightbar, dumbell pressees isolate the chest pretty well. What you can do is bring the dumbells together when you press up and squueze the chest before lowering it. Also make sure ur arms are in a horizontal parallel level with ur shoulders when ur lying down. Go wide as you lower the press, you'll feel the burn in the right parts in no time ...later I bend a bit only and less than 45 degree...Is it my arm shud be lower than the bench to get more effective workout on chest? (for chest fly) And how to squeeze the chest as I feel the pressure on arms more than chest.? Thanks for the advices Added on May 9, 2009, 8:59 pm QUOTE(zeist @ May 9 2009, 01:11 AM) If you feel pain at the side of the chest, then you are on the right track. You'll eventually see your chest becoming bigger, so are your arms. Thats the problem....I didnt fell the pain on my chest but arms Train hard.
