Guide

This variation of the incline bench press targets the upper chest and triceps more intensely by using a close grip, which also engages the inner chest muscles.

  1. Set an adjustable bench to a 30-45 degree incline and lie back with a dumbbell in each hand, held at chest level with your palms facing each other.
  2. Press the dumbbells upward until your arms are fully extended, keeping them close together.
  3. Squeeze your chest and triceps at the top of the movement.
  4. Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
