Incline Dumbbell Fly

• Set an adjustable bench to an incline of 30-45 degrees. Lie back and hold a dumbbell in each hand.

• Start with the dumbbells directly over your chest, palms facing each other and arms slightly bent.

• Engage your core and keep your back pressed into the bench throughout the movement.

• Initiate the fly by opening your arms out to the sides in an arc-like motion.

• Lower the dumbbells down and out until you feel a stretch in your chest without touching the dumbbells together.

• Squeeze your chest at the bottom of the movement then reverse back up to the starting position.

• Breathe in as you lower the weights, breathe out as you lift back up.

• Use a weight that challenges your chest but allows you to maintain control. Do not swing the weights.

• Keep a slight bend in your elbows throughout the move. Do not fully lock out your arms.

• Incline flyes target your upper chest. Maintain proper form to work the muscles effectively.
