Incline Dumbbell Flyes - With A Twist

Technique

How to perform Incline Dumbbell Flyes - With A Twist

1. Set an incline bench to no more than 30 degrees and lie back with a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Hold the weights above your upper chest with a slight elbow bend, palms facing you and little fingers pointing toward each other.
3. Keep your feet planted and upper back supported while maintaining that elbow bend.
4. Open your arms in a controlled arc, gradually turning your forearms so your palms face upward near the bottom.
5. Reverse both the arm arc and the forearm turn as you bring the dumbbells together above your chest.
6. Keep the elbow angle fixed rather than converting the return into a press.
