How to Do the Dumbbell Incline Press

Set Up the Bench:  Adjust the bench to a 30 to 45-degree incline to target the upper chest effectively.

Select Weights:  Choose dumbbells that challenge you but allow for proper form throughout the exercise.

Position Yourself:  Sit on the bench with your back flat and feet firmly planted. Hold the dumbbells

Begin the Press:  Start with your elbows bent at about 90 degrees. Push the dumbbells upward and slightly together

Control the Descent:  Lower the dumbbells slowly back to the starting position, keeping control and avoiding a sudden drop.

Maintain Stability:  Keep your back pressed against the bench and your core engaged to avoid excessive arching.

Breathing:  Exhale as you press the weights up and inhale as you lower them. Proper breathing helps maintain rhythm and control.

Perform Reps:  Aim for 8-12 repetitions per set. Focus on a controlled motion to maximize effectiveness
