Exercises (Incline Dumbell Press)
Active Lifestyle
Consult your physician before starting any diet and/or exercise plan.
Muscles Worked
Chest or Pectorals,
Shoulders or Deltoids,
Upper Arms (back) or Triceps
Position and Movement
Grab your weights and lean back onto an incline bench while ensuring that your feet are firmly planted on the floor. Your arms should be at a near 90° angle and the weights should be held near your upper chest. Raise the dumbells upward until your arms are almost fully extended but not fully locked, and then slowly lower the weights back down to the starting position.
Tip
The angle of the bench should be raised to an angle of no more than 45°. If the bench is raised too far, you could be incorporating too much shoulder work into the exercise.
