How to do it

  1. 01

    Position two equally loaded EZ bars on the ground next to each other. Ensure they are able to roll.

  2. 02

    Assume a push-up position over the bars, supporting your weight on your toes and hands with your arms extended and body straight.

  3. 03

    Place your hands on the bars. This will be your starting position.

  4. 04

    Using a slow and controlled motion, move your hands away from the midline of your body, rolling the bars apart. Inhale during this portion of the motion.

  5. 05

    After moving the bars as far apart as you can, return to the starting position by pulling them back together. Exhale as you perform this movement.

In the app

Bodyweight Flyes appears when you own an EZ bar and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have an EZ bar

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
