Incline dumbbell bench press

KEY POINTS:

Tilt the bench so it’s at 45 degrees and lean back onto the bench so your back is flat against it.

Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with hands positioned at your shoulders, elbows bent and angled down below your ribs. Relax your neck against the bench. Keep your feet flat on the floor.

Brace your core and press both dumbbells straight up above your chest as you exhale. Keep your wrists straight (don't let them "cock" backward).

Reverse the movement and slowly lower the dumbbells to the top of your chest as you inhale. Lowering the dumbbells, your elbows should come down at roughly a 45-degree angle to your torso.

Repeat for the required number of reps and sets, taking a 60 sec pause between sets.
