Dumbbell Incline Single-Arm Y-Raise

1. Adjust the incline bench to an angle between 45 and 60 degrees.

2. Sit on the bench facing towards the pad and plant your feet firmly on the floor for stability.

3. Lean forward so that your chest is supported by the pad.

4. Hold a dumbbell in one hand with a neutral grip (palm facing in).

5. With a slight bend in your elbow, raise the dumbbell in front of you and up at an angle, forming a 'Y' shape with your body. Your arm should be in line with your ear at the top of the movement.

6. Slowly lower the dumbbell back to the starting position.

7. Perform the desired number of repetitions, and then switch to the other arm.

8. Ensure to keep your core engaged and back straight throughout the movement.

9. Avoid using momentum to lift the weight; the movement should be controlled and deliberate.
