Alternating Incline Dumbbell Bench Press
Alternating Incline Dumbbell Bench Press is a great exercise for building muscles and strength. This is known as a full-body exercise but specifically targets chest muscles; that is why it is also known as chest press.
Instructions
- Sitting on a sloping bench, positioned at an angle of 45 degrees, holds a pair of dumbbells directly above the chest, with arms fully extended and palms facing outwards.
- Pull the shoulder blades, stretch your chest slightly and lower both dumbbells to the sides of your chest.
- Now push one dumbbell up, holding the other next to you. Then, as you lower the dumbbell, push the other one up.
Tips
- Be sure to use a full range of motion throughout the exercise.
- Pause at the top of the press.
