Incline Dumbbell Press

Lie down on an incline bench as shown, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Hands are pressed to the body at the top of the thighs. The palms are facing each other. As soon as you lie down, move the dumbbells in front of you up to the width of your shoulders. Rotate your wrists so that your palms are facing forward. This will be your starting position. As you inhale, slowly lower the dumbbells. Monitor their movements carefully. Tip: Your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor during this movement. As you exhale, perform a dumbbell press using your pecs. Lock your hands at the top, tighten your chest, after a second pause, start moving down again. Hint: going down should take twice as long as going up. Perform the required number of repetitions, according to your training program. Attention: after the end of the exercise, do not place the dumbbells on the sides of the bench, this movement can injure your wrists. If the dumbbells are very heavy, it is better to use the help of a partner. Variations: You can also use a barbell or resistance band to perform this exercise. The exercise is similar to the Dumbbell Bench Press, but is performed not on a horizontal, but on an incline bench. The lower pectoral muscles work more.
