Exercise Description

The Dumbbell Incline Reverse Flye is an exercise that targets the muscles in your upper back and shoulders.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    To start, lie on an incline bench with your chest and stomach pressed against the incline. Hold dumbbells in each hand with palms facing each other.
  • Step 2

    Extend your arms in front of you so that they are perpendicular to the corner of the bench. The legs should be still, applying pressure with the fingertips. This is the starting position.
  • Step 3

    Keeping a slight bend in the elbows, move the dumbbells out and away from each other (to the sides) in an arcing motion as you exhale.
  • Step 4

    The arms should be raised until they are parallel to the floor.
  • Step 5

    Feel the contraction, and as you inhale, slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
