Primary Target(s): Chest (Upper), Triceps, Front Deltoids

The incline dumbbell chest press is a compound move that targets the upper half of the chest (including the front deltoids). It helps develop strong separation across the clavicles and down the top part of the mid-line.

  • (1) Set up a bench so that it’s at a 45º angle.
  • (2) Dig your feet into the ground and press the dumbbells straight up over the upper part of your chest. Keep your arms at 60º with your torso.
  • (3) Slowly lower until the dumbbells are in line with your collarbone. Powerfully press up and SQUEEZE your pecs together at the top.
