End-Range Dumbbell Flies For Chest

- Use a slight elbow bend and avoid clanging the dumbbells at the top to improve hypertrophy and mobility.
Personal Gains From End-Range Flies
- Joe credits increased chest fullness when he added end-range flies and mentions Charles Glass as an influence.
- He notes Triple H also praised the movement after using it in his training.
Three Low-Stress Upper-Back Staples
- Do band pull-aparts, iso-hold YWTs, and face-pull variations regularly as non-fatiguing volume for shoulder and upper-back health.
- Use high-to-low face pulls and floor face-pull external rotation with a micro band to train scapular depression and external rotation safely.
