    OK ummm i do my pec dumbell flys lying on a yoga mat on the ground, impossible to over stretch that way. I can attest you can hurt yourself by over stretching in the opposite direction, like I did when using wall mounted resistance bands last year. I over stretched and popped a rib out. Don't do that by the way. Lie on the floor, the floor is your friend. Of course I'm talking home workouts with no access to gym machinery.

    OP, who is saying what about DF? I'd love some solid info!

    I've heard it from quite a few sources but this one had me thinking. This dude talks like he knows what he's talking about. Kind of spooked me to be honest. Fast forward video to about a 1 minute and 20 secs.

    I watch his channel more than anyones. He actually puts science behind what he says.

    I agree. Jeff Cavaliere is a bit of a bro but he's big on injury prevention, and is very well versed.

    I can't go too far out or heavy due to rotator cuff/ligament damage from sports. Then again, that pretty much goes with any shoulder-centric workout.
