Incline Dumbbell Flys.

Make every rep count.

1. 01

   Grab the dumbbells with a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Rest the ends in your hip crease and sit on an incline bench.

2. 02

   Carefully lie back, keeping the weights close to your chest. Take a breath, then press the dumbbells up to a stable top position.

3. 03

   Set your upper body: pull your shoulder blades slightly back and down (don’t shrug). Keep a small bend in your elbows and lock that elbow angle in.

4. 04

   Lower the dumbbells out and wide in a slow, controlled arc until they’re around chest level—let your chest stretch, not your shoulders.

5. 05

   Reverse by squeezing your pecs and bringing the dumbbells back along the same arc to the top.

6. 06

   At the top, stop just short of letting the dumbbells touch, then flow into the next rep with control.
