Inclined Bench Press- Chest


A great upper-region chest exercise. By using dumbbells, you can achieve a better stretch at the bottom of the movement and a stronger contraction at the top. Being able to move the weight through a greater range of motion recruits more muscle fibers, resulting in greater muscle gains.


1.Grasp a pair of dumbbells and lie back on a 45-degree incline bench.
2. To achieve a full contraction and to keep your shoulders out of the movement as much as possible, use a palms-in grip

3.Keeping your elbows in a natural position and your forearms perpendicular to the floor, begin pressing the dumbbells up.
4.Barely touch them together at the top while squeezing your chest forcefully.
5.After a brief pause, slowly lower the weights back down to the starting position and repeat. Use a full range of motion.
