Incline DB Fly

How to

Dumbbell
  1. 1 Bench at 30°, dumbbells over the chest, elbows soft.
  2. 2 Open the arms wide to a chest stretch.
  3. 3 Bring them back together over the upper chest.

Tips

  • Use lighter dumbbells than for flat flys; the incline makes the stretch harder.
  • Keep the dumbbells over the upper chest at the top, not over the face.
  • Stop at a stretch you can reverse smoothly.

Common mistakes

  • Bending the elbows more as you lower, so it turns into a press.
  • Going so deep that the shoulders ache.
  • Clanking the dumbbells together at the top.
