A close-grip dumbbell press where the dumbbells are pressed firmly together throughout the movement, creating constant inner-pec tension that standard presses can't replicate.
Form tips
Press the dumbbells hard against each other before you even begin, maintain that lateral pressure through every inch of the rep.
Lower to mid-chest with elbows pointing slightly down rather than flared wide.
Pause briefly at the bottom to eliminate stretch-reflex and maximise the contraction stimulus.
