Exercise:

Incline Dumbbell Bench Press

Target Muscle:

Chest

Secondary Muscles:

Shoulders/Triceps

Equipment Needed:

Incline Bench, Dumbbells

Proper Execution:

Place the dumbbells on your lower thighs and, using momentum, kick the weights back and lie down on the bench. Once the dumbbells are even with your chest, drive them up towards the ceiling. Keep your feet and back firmly planted on the bench throughout the entire exercise. After you have completed as many reps as you can, place the weights back onto your thighs and move them to the ground. If that's not possible, you can simply drop the dumbbells onto the ground.

Tips:

Do not angle the bench any higher than 30 degrees in order to keep the stress on the chest rather than the shoulders. Also remember to use a full range of motion and do not lock your elbows out at the top.
