This exercise will make your inner chest pop is a dumbbell fly into a hex press. Dumbbell flys are the traditional go-to of the inner chest exercises but this move is made even more intense by adding a hex press into the mix.

I like to do this exercise sequence on an exercise ball to further increase the activation on my chest muscles while also bringing my core into play as well. Because of the destabilization factor of the exercise ball and the focus on the squeeze, you aren’t using a heavy weight with this move.
