Repeat this motion for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your movements smooth and controlled throughout the exercise.

Pro Tip

**Choose Appropriate Weights**: Don't start with heavy weights. The incline fly is an isolation exercise, so it's not about lifting as heavy as you can. It's about slow, controlled movements to squeeze and isolate the chest muscles. If the weights are too heavy, you risk injury and may not be able to perform the exercise properly. **Correct Form**: Keep a slight bend in your elbows to avoid straining them. Your arms should look like a wide arc, not a straight line. When you bring the weights together at the top of the movement, don't let them touch as this can cause you to lose tension in your chest muscles. **Avoid Overstretching**: When lowering the weights
