  1. Is this exercise beneficial in any way? Should I can it and replace it with
    something else? I still do it as my "finishing" exercise, alternating with
    either cable-cross overs, or the pec dec machine, or the semi-incline
    dumbell flys.

  2. Tis a good exercise for the middle of the pecs.
    Depends if you want to train that area or not.

  3. Oh yeah...

    Forgot to add, why do you do it as the finishing exercise all the time.
    It would be better if you varied your routine tbh.

    Remember reading somewhere that Dumbell flies were superior as a chest
    exercise to cable crossovers and pec-deck. Would seem logical as dumbells
    are free weights and therfore would develop stabilizers more.

    Probably, he means as a finishing exercise for the chest, which would make
    sense as these are isolation exercises.

    I like using the cables (same as cable cross overs) and do a bicep flex
    / pose. Hold the grips, palms up with your arms straight out..parallel
    to the ground. Pull the weight in keeping the back arm parallel to the
    ground as if you were doing a bicep pose.

    I was thinking of the same thing yesterday. I didn't ask anyone, but I did
    sort of a quarter rep of a concentration curl with the cables and it felt
    good. We'll see how it goes.

    Oh geez, what have I started!?!?! I guess the "wink" part of the smiley
    ( ;- > ) wasn't enough of a give-away.

    I was trying to use sarcasm to make my point, guess it didn't work. I was
    trying to point out the absurdity of trying to grow the middle of a muscle,
    either the muscle grows or it doesn't.

    No, I think most of us understood.

    I was going to comment 'how ironic' after both gman and hellrazor
    responded to your post. But the image of gman doing a biceps pose with
    cables was so disturbing I decided just to be thankful he doesn't work out
    at my gym. We now have guys bringing dumbbells down to the olympic lifting
    platforms so they can perform db curls in front of the mirrors. So
    Wednesday I walked in and all four squat racks were being used for arm
    curls AND there was a guy doing dumbbell curls on the olympic platform.

    These people need a killin'. Is there no station safe? Fortunately most of
    the showboats leave the area when somebody starts really lifting weights.
