dumbbell fly

Pec isolation movement

A dumbbell fly is a weightlifting exercise targeting the chest muscles.

Lying on a bench with a dumbbell in each hand, you extend your arms outward in a wide arc, then bring them back together above your chest—the motion resembling a bird's wings in flight.

I added dumbbell flies to build my pecs.
