1. Set an incline bench to an angle of 30 to 45 degrees.
2. Sit on the bench with a dumbbell in one hand in a neutral grip position (your palm should be facing in towards your body).
3. Place your feet flat on the floor for stability, and maintain a tight core throughout the movement.
4. Push the dumbbell up by extending your arm until it is straight above your shoulder. Keep a slight bend in your elbow at the top to avoid locking the joint.
5. With control, lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position, where the dumbbell is near the outer side of your chest.
6. Focus on squeezing your chest muscles as you press the dumbbell upward.
7. Complete the desired number of reps with one arm before switching to the other arm.
8. Remember to breathe out as you push the dumbbell upwards and breathe in as you lower it back down.
Ensure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise to prevent injury, and adjust the weight according to your capability. If you're new to this exercise, consider starting with lighter weights to perfect the technique before increasing the load.
