Incline Dumbbell Press

How to do it

Set the bench to a 30 to 45 degree incline and lie back with a dumbbell in each hand resting at the sides of the chest.
Plant the feet flat on the floor and brace the core to keep the lower back in light contact with the bench pad.
Press the dumbbells up and slightly inward until the arms extend over the upper chest, without knocking the weights together.
Squeeze the chest at the top and keep the shoulder blades pulled back and down into the bench.
Lower the dumbbells over a 3 count until the elbows drop just below shoulder height, feeling a stretch across the upper chest.
Keep the elbows tracking at roughly 45 degrees from the torso instead of flaring straight out to the sides.
