Jason Faulkner lay back on an incline bench at a gym in St. Joseph, Missouri, and took a pair of 100-pound dumbbells through 20 incline flies in one unbroken set. Filmed from beside the bench, the clip shows the bells opening out from above his chest and closing back together on every rep, with the 100 stamp readable on the near dumbbell late in the set. RecordSetter counted the reps in the continuous 41-second video, where one more rep stalls at the bottom and he sets the weights down. Flies hold the whole load out on nearly straight arms, so a hundred pounds a hand is far beyond what most lifters ever try.

Jason Faulkner lay back on an incline bench at a gym in St. Joseph, Missouri, and worked a pair of 90-pound dumbbells through 26 incline flies in one unbroken set. Filmed from beside the bench, the clip shows the dumbbells sweeping apart and closing back together above his chest on every rep, and the 90 stamp on both bells is readable as he finishes. RecordSetter counted the reps in the continuous 48-second video. Flies hang the whole load off nearly straight arms, which is why most lifters use a fraction of this weight.
