Technique

How to perform Incline Dumbbell Press Flyes

  1. Set an incline bench to around 45 degrees and lie back with a dumbbell in each hand.
  2. Hold the weights above your upper chest with your palms angled slightly inward, feet planted and upper back supported.
  3. Lower the dumbbells outward in a controlled fly-like arc, allowing your elbows to bend more as the weights approach the bottom.
  4. Keep the lower position controlled rather than forcing extra shoulder range.
  5. Press the weights upward and inward by extending your elbows and bringing your upper arms back toward the start.
  6. Repeat the same wider lowering arc and pressing return without bouncing the dumbbells.
