chest fly

Dumbbell arm arc

A chest fly is a strength training exercise in which the arms move in a hugging motion to work the pectoral muscles.

Typically performed lying on a bench while holding dumbbells or using a cable machine, the arms start extended to the sides and arc together over the chest: I added chest flies to my routine to build definition.
