How to Alternating Incline Press
Primary Muscles: Upper Body, Chest
Equipment: Dumbbell
Trainer: Ashley Steele
Steps:
-
Incline a bench and lie with good posture, a natural arch in the lower back, and your feet braced firmly on the floor.
-
Position the dumbbells horizontal to the body and aligned over the shoulders. Begin with the elbows pointed outward, the wrists straight, and the core and trunk muscles contracted.
-
Slowly lower the right dumbbell, keeping the hands just inside the elbows. Continue to lower until the upper arm is about parallel with the floor.
-
Keep your core strong, hold the down-position briefly, slowly exhale, and press the right dumbbell back to the starting position.
-
Repeat the same steps on the left side and continue alternating for the specified amount of time or repetitions.
-
You should feel this working your chest, arms, shoulders, and triceps.
