Arnold is unquestionably one of the living legends of bodybuilding.
No one can deny that Arnold Schwarzenegger's peak physique is considered "the best of all time." Not only did his overall development put him apart from many other bodybuilding giants of the time, but his famous chest was one of the largest and fullest in history!
Crossovers with a single cable
When executing cable crossovers, Schwarzenegger made a point of squeezing his chest and flexing his pecs at the spot where his arms met, which helped him get that etched-in line down the centre of his chest. Dumbbell flies may be performed in the same way; simply bring your hands together at the top of the exercise and contract your pecs as hard as you can.
Bench Press with a 2-Incline
Arnold was extremely inventive with the incline bench press, the ultimate technique for emphasizing the upper chest, as with any other body part, striking the muscle from all conceivable angles is vital for its total development. He would hit his upper pecs somewhere between 15% and 50% of the way up, which targets the upper muscular fibres even more deeply — in order to shape even the tiniest muscles that most bodybuilders overlook.
3- Incline Dumbbell Press
It is highly useful to hit the upper pecs near the clavicles to improve muscular development in this area. The top part of the chest muscles can no longer be distinguished (because that would just look weird). However, by executing inclines and working the muscle from a different position, you can stress the upper chest.
That's why old-school training was so ahead of its time: bodybuilders realized that using diverse angles for general muscle development was incredibly successful.

Dumbbell exercise now needs additional stabilization, limiting the amount of weight you may utilize. However, you will strengthen and grow your stabilizer muscles, which aid in mobility. Unilateral (one-sided) training is also particularly useful for muscular imbalances, isolation, strengthening the core, and even rehabilitation. (3)
To do a dumbbell incline press...
1-Grab two dumbbells and sit on the incline bench's edge with your feet on the floor.
2-While lying down, use the back of your left thigh to propel the left dumbbell back, followed by the right dumbbell, until you're lying flat against the incline bench.
3-Slightly tuck your elbows in and lift the dumbbells straight up, squeezing your chest muscles.
4-Repeat with a lighter weight until you feel a small stretch.
