So they're basically the same exercise when it comes to how they load your pecs, thus making them redundant to one another. You don't need to do them in the same work


The reason you can use much more weight when doing a dumbbell bench press is because it allows the triceps to contribute. The weight is also much closer to your shoulder joints, which gives your pecs and front delts a much better mechanical advantage.

DO CABLE FLYES INSTEAD​

Cable flyes aren't redundant to dumbbell bench presses because they load the pecs in a different manner than flyes with dumbbells.


Dumbbell flyes provide little to no force on your pecs when your wrists are directly above your shoulders. However, since cable flyes involve working against 45-degree force vector (the cables themselves), your pecs end up dealing with a great deal of load when your hands are directly in front of your shoulders.
