When i'm doing these my forearms get tired first and i have to stop but the muscles that are sposed to get worked when doing this (chest, shoulders, triceps) can still do more. Could it be my technique isn't good enough or is it just a bad exercise to do.

A incline bench press would be far superior to a dumbbell fly wouln't it???
Superior? yes I think so, that is for building upper chest mass,
But my upper chest dosen't lag (I don't have the droopy titty look )
Thing is I will always do flat BB press, and weighted dips so that only leaves me space for one more exercise (so as not to do too much) so I normally make it incline flyes. Its something different you know.More Testicles Means More Iron - Lunch Lady Dorris

to be blunt, yes, you are wrong. the chest will grow as one muscle, forget all the inner/outer, the fibers run horizontally. incline/flat, BB/DB, dips will hit all areas of the chest.
to answer drags Q, ur either 1) using too much weight 2) pre-exausting your forearms 3) your just weirdIt doesnt matter how big, how cut, or how much you can lift, because there will always be someone bigger, more cut, or stronger than you. You should train to be the best you genetically can be. This is what should motivate you everyday.

yea, perfectly normal, to an extent, it shouldnt look like a mountain peak on the outside, but gradually increase from in to out

Some of the people on this board are very, very close minded. Just experiment with diffrent exercises for the chest etc, and do what you feel best benefits you. If that includes flyes, pullovers, etc and you feel it benefits your chest in some way, then include it in your exercise routine. Don't let someone else tell you what will work and not work for your body.

Correct, but flyes will target the "inside" edges of the muscles.
Same as decline presses target the lower portion and incline presses target the upper portion.

Here we go again...
AUTOMATED INNER CHEST MYTH RESPONSE: There is NO such thing as inner chest or outer chest! The fibers of the chest run horizontally somewhat like a fan shape (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/issa67abig.jpg). Therefore, you CANNOT target the inner portions more than the outer portions or vice versa because it's IMPOSSIBLE to work a portion of a fiber more than the other and the entire length of a fiber will ALWAYS work at the same degree of stress and that applies to ANY muscle. You can however emphasize the upper or lower portions. The supposed feeling you thought you had in your inner chest from certain exercises is just a cramping sensation you got in your tendons by the sternum. A lot of this "inner chest" stuff has to do with GENETICS meaning muscle insertion points and bone structure. Some people's pectorals originate farther from the sternum, which would result in that gap. And your pectorals will usually follow the shape of your ribcage. Your best bet is to get your chest as developed as possible and in time it'll fill out. Lowering your bodyfat will also help a great deal in revealing your inner chest.

The close minded comment was not geared towards anyone in general, I know that most of you all know you're **** and have problably built quality physiques for yourselves, but as I have said before your way is not the only way. If someone wants to try alternative exercises let them try them quit trying to be the end all, be all judges of what exercises can work and don't work. For example, alot of people have said you can't really alter your serratus muscle doing heavy pullovers. People back in the eighties always told my uncle who's a bodybuilder that you can't alter the the basic stucure of your serratus just by doing heavy pullovers. It's not possible, it's just genetics.Well my uncle has been doing them for years and he has a truly awesome serratus jutting from under his chest. And no he did not have any kind of natural serratus development before he started doing pullovers. So you can always listen to what the scientist or so called "experts" have to say, or you can experiment and listen to what your own body has to tell you.
