DB Alternating Incline Press
Starting Posture
Lie on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Extend your arms fully above your chest with palms facing forward.
How to Exercise
Lower one dumbbell towards your chest while keeping the other arm extended. Push the dumbbell back up to the starting position and repeat on the other side. Alternate sides for 10-12 repetitions per side.
Breath Control
Inhale as you lower the dumbbell towards your chest and exhale as you push it back up.
Common errors
Common errors include arching the back, flaring the elbows out to the sides, and using momentum to lift the weights.
Weights
Choose a weight that challenges you for 10-12 reps without sacrificing form.
Grips
You can use a neutral grip (palms facing each other) or a pronated grip (palms facing forward) for this exercise.
Variations
You can perform this exercise on a flat bench or with a barbell instead of dumbbells for variation.
