Grab two dumbbells and sit on an incline bench. The bench should be at a 30 to 45-degree angle.
Lie back on the bench with each dumbbell by the side of your chest. Your palms will be facing each other with the dumbbells parallel or almost parallel to your body.
Keep your chest out and shoulders back.
Press the dumbbells up and slightly together, then slowly lower the dumbbells back down to the side of your chest.
If the dumbbells are getting a bit heavier and it’s becoming too difficult to get them into place, you can sit on the bench with the dumbbells placed on your thighs. Then as you lie back, your thighs can assist you in getting them into place to start the exercise.
