#Info – Incline Dumbbell Bench Press
The Incline Dumbbell Bench Press targets the upper chest. Common mistakes include arching the back excessively and flaring elbows too wide; maintain a slight arch and keep elbows at a 45-degree angle. For smart adjustments, vary the incline to shift the focus between the upper chest and shoulders. Use a spotter for safety when lifting heavy. Beginners can start with lighter weights to master form, while advanced users can increase weights or reps for more intensity. This exercise enhances upper body strength and improves overall chest development. Always warm up properly to prevent injury.
