Dumbbell Incline Neutral-Grip Chest Press

Dumbbell Incline Squeeze Press Instructions

• An adjustable bench set to an incline (about 30-45 degrees)

Starting Position:

1. Sit on the incline bench with your back firmly supported. Ensure that your feet are flat on the ground and your knees are at a comfortable angle.

2. Grab a dumbbell in each hand. Hold the dumbbells with an overhand grip (palms facing forward).

3. Position the dumbbells at chest level, pressing them together lightly to create tension between them. Your elbows should be bent at approximately 90 degrees.

Movement:

1. Press Up: Inhale and press the dumbbells up above your chest while squeezing them together.

2. Extend Arms: Fully extend your arms without locking your elbows at the top of the movement. Hold for a moment.

3. Lower Down: Exhale slowly as you lower the dumbbells back down to the starting position at chest level while maintaining the squeeze between them.

4. Repeat: Perform 8-12 repetitions, maintaining control throughout the movement and ensuring that your back remains supported against the bench.

Tips:

• Keep your core engaged for stability.

• Ensure your movements are smooth and controlled, avoiding any jerking or swinging.

• Adjust the weight of the dumbbells as necessary to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
