Incline Dumbbell Fly

Starting position

Lying on the sloping bench, your feet flat on the floor, one dumbbell in each hand. Hold the weights in a neutral grip with your arms outstretched above your chest.

Execution

Slowly lower the dumbbells to the sides in an arc with your arms until you feel a stretch in your pectorals. Do not go below shoulder level. Then return to the original position, making the same arc.

During the whole movement:

• Keep your elbows pointed outward and slightly bent to reduce stress on the joint.
• Keep your shoulders flat against the bench.
