The Dumbbell Incline One Arm Fly is an isolation exercise primarily targeting the upper chest muscles. It helps improve chest expansion and strength.
How to perform
Step by step instructions:1. Set up an incline bench at a 45-degree angle. Grab a dumbbell with your right hand and lie down on the bench with your feet flat on the floor.
2. Extend your arm with the dumbbell straight up above your chest, palm facing in.
3. Lower the dumbbell out to the side in a wide arc, keeping a slight bend in your elbow. Your arm should be parallel to the floor at the bottom of the movement.
4. Slowly bring the dumbbell back to the starting position, squeezing your chest muscles as you do so.
5. Repeat for the desired number of reps on your right arm, then switch to your left arm.
Tips:
- Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain stability on the bench.
- Use a controlled motion, focusing on the contraction of your chest muscles.
- Avoid using momentum to lift the dumbbell, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
- Select a weight that allows you to complete the desired number of reps with proper form.
