Incline Dumbbell Bench Press

Starting Position

• Sit on an incline bench, angled at 30-60° (the steeper the incline, the greater the stress on the upper pectorals and anterior deltoids).
• Pick up a dumbbell in each hand and place them on your thighs.
• Lie on the bench, at the same time bringing the dumbbells to shoulder level. Your palms should face forwards.

The Movement

• Press the dumbbells directly over your upper chest until your arms are fully extended. Hold for a count of two.
• Lower the weights slowly until they are by your shoulders. You should achieve a! maximal but comfortable stretch.
• Pause for a second before pressing them Upi agaIn.

Tips

• Press the dumbbells in a straight line, not back over your head.
• Do not set the angle of the bench too high otherwise the anterior deltoids will bel targeted and take much of the emphasisl away from the chest.
