⚠️ Most common mistake: Bending the elbows mid-rep, which turns the fly into a sloppy press and loses the chest focus. Letting the hands drop too far behind the body, overstretching the front shoulders. Rushing the opening phase, throwing away the slow return where most of the chest tension lives. Using the torso to swing the handles together instead of squeezing with the chest.

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