Primary Muscle: Chest
Equipment: Dumbbell
Level: Advanced
Purpose: To target the upper head of the pectoralis major muscle.
Execution: From a lying position on an incline bench, grasp a dumbbell in each hand and lift them to shoulder height with your palms facing forward. Keep your scapula retracted and wrists straight, press the dumbbells straight up overhead until your arms are fully extended but not locked out. Holding one arm in an extended position, lower the other arm slowly back to the start position before pressing up for another repetition. Once your arm is fully extended, repeat the same motion for the other arm. Keep alternating until you have reached your desired rep count.
