Dumbbell Incline Chest Fly

1. Set up an incline bench at approximately a 30-45 degree angle.

2. Select a pair of dumbbells appropriate to your strength level.

3. Sit down on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand resting on your thighs.

4. Lie back on the bench and, with the help of your thighs, raise the dumbbells above you with your arms extended and palms facing each other.

5. With a slight bend in your elbows, lower the dumbbells out to the sides in a wide arc until you feel a stretch on your chest. Your arms should remain stationary; the movement should occur only at the shoulder joint.

6. Use your chest muscles to reverse the motion, bringing the dumbbells back up to the starting position in a wide arc. Ensure that you are not using your arms to do the lifting but rather squeezing your chest to bring the weights back together.

7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

During the exercise, make sure to maintain control of the dumbbells throughout the entire movement, avoiding any jerking or bouncing motions. Also, keep your movements smooth and do not let the dumbbells touch at the top as you maintain tension on your chest muscles.
