The dumbbell fly targets the chest, enhancing muscle definition and flexibility. A common mistake is using too heavy weights, which can strain the shoulders. Focus on form: keep a slight bend in the elbows to protect joints. Engage your core for stability. For beginners, start with lighter weights to perfect technique. Advanced users can incorporate a bench incline or decline to target different chest areas. Avoid excessive range of motion to prevent injury. Pair with compound exercises like bench presses for balanced muscle development. Adjust reps and sets based on fitness goals—endurance, strength, or hypertrophy.
