Dumbbell Incline Twisted Flyes

How to perform

To perform Dumbbell Incline Twisted Flyes, follow these steps:

1. Adjust the bench to a 30-45 degree incline and lie down face-up with a dumbbell in each hand.
2. Keep your feet flat on the ground and engage your core for stability.
3. Start with the dumbbells directly above your chest, palms facing each other.
4. Slowly lower the dumbbells out to the sides in a wide arc while maintaining a slight bend in the elbows.
5. As you lower the dumbbells, twist your wrists so that your palms face away from you at the bottom of the movement.
6. Pause at the bottom of the movement, feeling a stretch in your chest muscles.
7. Slowly bring the dumbbells back to the starting position, squeezing your chest muscles as you do so.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

It's important to use light to moderate weight for this exercise to avoid injury, as the twisting motion can put strain on the shoulder joints. Focus on maintaining control throughout the movement and feel the contraction in your chest muscles.
