    Dumbbell Incline Single Arm Fly

    The dumbbell incline one arm fly is a unilateral chest exercise performed on an incline bench. It targets the pectoral muscles and also engages the deltoids and tricep. The movement requires control and stability, as only one arm is working at a time, increasing the demand on core and shoulder stabilizers.
