⚠️ Most common mistake: Bending the elbows mid-rep, which turns the fly into a sloppy press and shifts load off the chest. Dropping the hands too far below shoulder level, overstretching the front shoulders and risking joint strain. Rushing the lowering phase, where most of the chest-building tension lives. Letting the shoulders roll forward off the bench, losing the stable platform that keeps the chest loaded.

💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Chest.
