Description

Get into a lying position on your back on an incline bench, adjust the angle between 15 and 40°, and place your feet flat on the floor or on a platform. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, with an overhand grip, arms slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells to the level of the collarbones (upper part of the chest) without letting them bounce on the chest. Push the dumbbells upwards while exhaling at the end of the movement.
