Instructions
1. Set up an incline bench at an angle of approximately 15 to 45 degrees.
2. Sit on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand, resting on your thighs.
3. Using your thighs to help lift the dumbbells, raise them one at a time to hold them in front of your shoulders with your palms facing away from you.
4. Lie back onto the incline bench, keeping the dumbbells close to your chest and elbows bent.
5. Press the dumbbells upwards by extending your arms, ensuring you maintain a slight bend in the elbow to prevent locking them out.
6. Squeeze your chest muscles at the top of the movement without letting the dumbbells touch.
7. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position with control, bringing them to the sides of your chest.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Make sure to keep your back flat against the bench, and avoid arching your lower back. It’s important to manage the weight with control throughout the movement to maximize muscular tension and minimize the risk of injury.
