The alternating incline dumbbell bench press targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. The incline angle increases the resistance on the upper chest and shoulders while the alternating motion ensures both arms are equally strengthened.
Instructions
Sitting on an incline bench positioned at a 45-degree angle, hold a pair of dumbbells directly above your chest with your arms fully extended and your palms facing outward.
Pull your shoulder blades together, slightly stick out your chest, and lower both dumbbells to the sides of your chest.
Now, press one dumbbell upward, keeping the other at your side. Then, as you lower the dumbbell, press the other one upward.
