How To Build A Ping-Pong-Worthy Body

It doesn’t matter if you perform the chest fly with dumbbells, an exercise band, or cable attachment — they’ll all get the job done. The idea is to strengthen the shoulders to add more power to your forehand and build stamina in your muscles for long volleys.

How to do it

Grab a pair of light dumbbells and sit on an incline bench with your palms up, elbows bent, and your arms extended and to the side. (Your body should look like a “t” at the starting position.) From there, keep your position while slowly bringing the hands up until they meet over your face. Concentrate on allowing the chest to do the pulling, not your biceps. Once you’ve reached the top, go back to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner. Do two sets of 15-20 reps.

Chest fly tip: Do not clang the weight together at the top of the movement. If you do, slow the speed of the rep.
