What Is an Incline Dumbbell Press?
An incline dumbbell press is a compound muscle-building exercise that provides a workout for the chest, shoulders and triceps. An incline dumbbell press is similar to a standard bench press except that the athlete uses a set of dumbbells rather than a barbell and, rather than lying flat on a standard weight bench, the athlete lies on a bench that is at an incline. During an incline dumbbell press, the athlete must be careful to maintain proper form, because performing the exercise incorrectly can cause injury.
