Chest Exercises - Dumbbell Incline Bench Chest Press
Primary Muscles: Pectoralis Major and Minor
Secondary Muscles: Triceps
  1. Perform this exercise while lying with your back on the incline bench and your legs securely on the floor.
  2. Your arms should be fully extended (elbows soft) with your palms facing away from you and the weight suspended at shoulder width directly above your chest.
  3. Pinch your shoulder blades together with your chest sticking out for the duration of the exercise.
  4. Lower the weight out to the side until your elbows are at a 90 degree angle. Press the weight back up and consciously flex your chest muscles at the top.

Helpful Hints:
We recommend the bench angle be no greater than 45 degrees for this exercise. By maintaining proper form during this exercise, you prevent shoulder injuries. Do not allow your elbows to dip below the level of your shoulders.
