Exercise Instructions:

The incline dumbbell bench press is a great exercise for building mass on the upper chest. Setup for the exercise by setting an incline bench to an angle of about 30 degrees and placing the dumbbells at the low end. Grasp the dumbbells and sit down on the bench, place the ends of the dumbbells on your knees. Rock back onto the bench using your legs to help push the dumbbells up. You should be laying back on the bench with your arms fully outstretched holding the dumbbells (as shown in the video demonstration). This is the starting position. Keeping your body fixed, slowly lower the dumbbells down towards your upper chest until the handles are about level with your chest. Do not pause, then slowly raise the dumbbells back up without locking your elbows out at the top of the exercise. Repeat for desired reps.

Tips:

Control the dumbbells throughout the set by lowering them slowly, not letting them touch your body at the bottom of the movement and not touching them together at the top of the movement. Don't lock your elbows out or rest at the top of the movement. And finally, don't set the angle of the bench too high, doing this will involve the front shoulders too much.
