Primary Muscle: Chest
Equipment: Dumbbell
Level: Intermediate
Purpose: To target the upper head of the pectoralis major muscle.
Execution: From a seated position on an incline bench, grasp a dumbbell in each hand and lift them to shoulder height with your palms facing forward. Supinate your wrists so that your arms make a 45⁰ angle with the rest of your body. Keeping your scapula retracted and your wrists in a semi supinated position, press the dumbbells straight up overhead until your arms are fully extended but not locked out. Without hitting the dumbbells together, squeeze at the peak contraction before lowering the dumbbells slowly to the start position.
