Incline Dumbbell Fly
Bench inclined about 30-45 degrees; open slightly bent arms out to the sides until the upper chest stretches, then bring the dumbbells together above you.
How to do it
Setup
Bench at 30–45°, bells over the upper chest, palms facing, elbows softly bent.
Steps
- Open the arms in a wide arc until the upper chest stretches.
- Keep the soft elbow angle frozen.
- Squeeze back up along the same arc.
Common mistakes
Turning it into a press: the angle never changes. Dropping below the stretch: the shoulder takes it; chest level is depth enough. Too heavy: flys stay light.
Breathing
Inhale opening, exhale on the squeeze.
