Incline Hex Press – Dumbbell

1. Select two dumbbells of suitable weight and an incline bench set to a 45-degree angle.
2. Sit on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand, resting them on your thighs.
3. Kick the weights to shoulder height as you lean back, positioning the dumbbells at chest level with your palms facing each other.
4. Press the dumbbells up over your chest by extending your arms while actively pushing the dumbbells against one another the entire time.
5. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your chest muscles.
6. Lower the weights slowly back to the starting position, maintaining control and keeping the dumbbells close together.

Notes

Lower the incline to reduce the load on your shoulders and make the exercise easier.
