Perfect Your Incline Dumbbell Chest Press with These Form Tips!
1️⃣ Set the Bench Right – A 30-degree incline is ideal for targeting your upper chest. A higher incline shifts more work to your shoulders, while a lower incline engages more mid-chest fibers.
2️⃣ Elbow Positioning Matters – Keep your elbows slightly in front of your shoulders, not flared out to the sides. This reduces strain on your shoulders and lowers injury risk.
3️⃣ Retract Your Shoulders – Pull your shoulders back and down to maximize chest activation and minimize unnecessary stress on your front delts.
4️⃣ Maintain a High Chest – Keep your chest lifted throughout the movement to ensure your pecs stay fully engaged.
Master these cues, and you’ll see better results while keeping your joints safe!

You can go 45. You can even go all the way down to a 15 and a 12 ° incline they all work. This industry is gone way too far with this perfecting every degree. wrong. As long as you're in between the 45 and the 12? You're good retract your scapulas sternum up put all the weight to the floor with your feet and let your elbow naturally go in the direction it wants to go because everybody anatomy is different
All these newbies have made lifting so hard and complicated and confusing. This is why the Golden era was the best days
I can never tell if the vids are Kg or Lb
All the Anatoly vids have me running for Internet, conversion tables, American math, what are you gonna do?
🤷🏽♂️
Do you arch your back or don’t. Can someone explain?
Oh, no thanks I think I’ll keep my elbows flared out a bit more
HOW ABOUT THE CYCLE?
Could have used these before I wrecked my shoulder…
Good job no sound straight too the pnt and slow ❤😅
50kg？
If we do with heavy dumbell it can injure us or not
The angle of the bench should actually be at 45 degrees and not 30. This is because you always end up arching the back a bit to make the chest predominant, so if you lower the incline, you start biasing mid pecs instead of upper pecs
Just confused about how that shoulder goes back
Right posture is really something. I was doing pushups, 4 sets 80 push-up, all going well, after few days something wasn't right, watched some videos learnt, improved my posture now I do 55 pushups in 4 set, less than before, but getting more pump and impact.
Dumbell chest press and incline dumbell chest press both doing same or different?
Guys i need help, what if the angle i use is to high? What happens to me?
I painted my upper pecs green and could feel it instantly!

What is that a 3/4 incline
So basically just hit the mid chest instead 😂
I feel comfortable when I watch the videos before I workout and pull something
