Incline Dumbbell Press

Incline Dumbbell Press

Lie on an incline bench (set at an angle less than 60 degrees to avoid placing to much emphasis on the deltoids ) with your elbows bent. Hold the dumbbells with an overhand grip:

- Inhale and extend your arms until the weight touch

- Exhale as you complete the movement

This exercise - halfway between incline press and incline dumbbell flys - works the pectorals (particularly the upper part) while stretching them. It also works the anterior deltoids, seratus anterior, and pectoralis minor (both stabilize the scapulae, allowing the arm to work with the torso), and the triceps.
