Why do you do more presses than flies in your workout? 🧐
.
.
.
Pressing movements are a compound exercise - this means the exercise involves movement of at least two joints. Examples include bench press (elbow and shoulder joints) or squats (hip and knee joint) 🏋🏽♂️
We include more of these movements in our workouts since they allow you to lift a heavier weight, building bigger and fuller muscles 💪🏽
In addition to this, they involve the recruitment of much smaller stabiliser muscles, also force you to engage your core a lot more, and in most cases can help increase overall strength. There is a place for isolation movements, such as chest flies, but try your next workout a full pressing/ compound day and see how it works for you!
