biceps workout on cable chest flys

**beefcurry1** · 03-Sep-02, 08:42 AM

i was doing cable chest flys yesterday and this morning my bicepts are sore. am i doing it wrong or is it a natural thing due to the positioning of the arms when doing it?

The biceps brachii are a primary stabilizer in this motion.

ill try doing it with more propper form. if it doesnt change i just may change my workout to do chest and bis in the same day. it really tore my bis up. is there a workout on bis that looks anything like this? if not i suggest trying it. i may have to call it something. beefcurls

You really shouldn't be using your biceps a lot. You can obviously put a ton more weight on there if you keep your hands close to you (ergo using your biceps). With straight arms, not using your biceps, you are putting a lot more stress on your pecs.

Lower the weight and keep your arms straighter.

If you ever do a chest / bi day -- now you know what exercise to add.
