Dumbbell Incline Squeeze Press
The squeeze press on an incline bench: two dumbbells crushed together over the upper chest, so the chest works inward as well as upward.
How to do it
Setup
Incline bench, two dumbbells pressed together over the upper chest, palms facing each other, feet planted.
Steps
- Lower the joined bells to the upper chest.
- Keep the bells pressed together on the way down and up.
- Press up until the arms are straight over the upper chest.
Common mistakes
Bells drifting apart at the top: the squeeze is the point; keep it alive. Bench set too steep: a moderate incline keeps it a chest press. Elbows flaring wide: with the bells together they stay close.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
