Dumbbell Reverse Fly (Incline)

How to do it

  1. Set an incline bench to a low angle and lie face down on it with a dumbbell in each hand hanging straight below your shoulders.
  2. Rest your chest and forehead against the pad, keeping your feet planted on the floor or bench supports for stability.
  3. With a slight bend in your elbows, raise both dumbbells out to the sides until your arms reach shoulder height.
  4. Squeeze the posterior deltoid at the top of the movement before slowly lowering the dumbbells back to the start.
  5. Keep a controlled tempo throughout, exhaling as you raise and inhaling as you lower.
  6. Keep your chest pinned to the pad rather than pushing your torso up to gain extra height on the lift.
