How To Do Incline Dumbbell Bench Press

 
 
This is a great variation of the incline bench press performed with dumbbells instead of a barbel. The primary muscles used in this exercise are the upper pectorals. Secondary muscles used are the mid and lower pectorals, front delts, traps, triceps, upper and lower back.

To perform the incline dumbbell bench press sit on the edge of the incline bench holding the dumbbells rested on either knee. A great way to get heavier dumbbells into position is demonstrated in the video. As you lay back on the bench use your knees to guide the dumbbells into your starting position one by one.
 
Your feet should be firmly planted on the floor and your butt and shoulders should be planted on the bench. From your butt to your shoulders your back should be comfortably arched.
 
Power up the weight and then lower them down in a controlled manner back down to your chest. Repeat the process.
