incline dumbbell press
Target exercise areas:Upper pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, triceps brachii, upper pectoralis major
Action essentials:
It is basically the same as the flat dumbbell bench press, but it should be noted that the angle of the inclined plate should be controlled between 30-45 degrees. If the angle is too large, the pressure on the front deltoid muscles will be greater, which will affect the strength of the pectoralis major muscle.
Incline dumbbell bench press exercise method
Step 1:
Adjust the dumbbell bench to an incline angle.
Step 2:
Place your legs on the ground and grasp the dumbbells with both hands.
Slowly lower the dumbbells for more than 1 to 2 seconds.
The dumbbells should be approximately parallel to your nipples.
Step 3:
Hold the dumbbells parallel with both hands.
Keep tension in your chest.
For better results, contract your chest muscles.
Exercise Tips:
The incline dumbbell bench press is performed on an incline, which exercises the upper shoulder muscles to the pectoralis major.
Because the range of motion of the dumbbell bench is larger than that of the barbell bench press, it can improve the pectoralis major muscles more comprehensively. Among athletes and bodybuilders, more people would rather do dumbbell bench presses.
