Instructions
1. Set an incline bench at an angle of about 30-45 degrees.
2. Sit on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Rest the dumbbells on your thighs to help you get them into position.
3. Using your thighs, kick each dumbbell up one at a time so that you can hold them in front of you at shoulder width.
4. Rotate your wrists so that the palms of your hands are facing each other.
5. Push the dumbbells up with your chest as you lock your arms at the top of the lift and squeeze your chest.
6. Hold for a brief pause at the top, then begin to lower the dumbbells slowly back to the starting position as you breathe in.
7. Make sure to keep the weights close together and your elbows close to your torso throughout the movement to maintain tension on the chest and triceps.
8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
Be sure to perform the exercise in a slow and controlled manner, focusing on the contraction of the chest and triceps as you press the weight up. Select a weight that allows you to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
