Dumbbell Incline One Arm Hammer Press

How to perform

To perform the Dumbbell Incline One Arm Hammer Press, you will need an incline bench and a pair of dumbbells.

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Adjust the incline bench to a comfortable angle, typically between 30-45 degrees.
2. Sit on the bench and grasp one dumbbell in your right hand with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
3. Position the dumbbell at shoulder level, with your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle.
4. Press the dumbbell up and away from your body in a straight line, extending your arm fully but not locking out the elbow.
5. Lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position in a slow and controlled manner.
6. Perform the desired number of repetitions on one arm before switching to the other arm.
7. To ensure equal muscle development, repeat the same number of repetitions on each side.

- Avoid excessive swinging or using momentum to lift the weight.
