Flyes

The fly is performed while lying face up on a bench, with arms outspread holding dumbbells, by bringing the arms together above the chest. This is an isolation exercise for the pectorals.

Many gyms also have Pec Deck machines where you sit upright to perform the same movement while under resistance.

To target different areas of the chest, then perform incline flyes to target the upper pectorals, and decline flyes to target the lower pectorals.
