Dumbbell Incline Press

How to do it

1. 1

   Set the bench back so it's slightly tilted (2nd or 3rd notch up).

2. 2

   Sit on the end with a dumbbell standing on each thigh.

3. 3

   Lie back, using your knees to help bring the dumbbells up to your chest one at a time.

4. 4

   Feet flat on the floor. Squeeze your shoulder blades together, like pinching a pencil between them.

5. 5

   Tighten your core. Breathe out as you push the dumbbells straight up.

6. 6

   Breathe in as you slowly lower them until they're beside your chest. Elbows point slightly down, not straight out to the sides.

Where you should feel it: Your upper chest and the fronts of your shoulders.
