Perfect incline dumble press

Targets: Chest, shoulders, triceps

Equipment Needed: Dumbbells and an incline bench

Level: Intermediate

The incline dumbbell press is a free weight exercise designed to target the chest, shoulders, and triceps, hitting each side of the body independently.

Unlike the more traditional flat bench press, the incline press shifts the focus of the movement to the upper portion of the pectoral muscle groups and the front of the shoulder. This allows for greater hypertrophy (muscle growth) of the upper chest when the exercise is performed regularly

The incline dumbbell press is designed to increase chest strength and size, so it's typically included in a well-rounded, intermediate strength training program. If you split up your weekly workouts by body part, include this chest exercise on your upper body or chest day, after exercises like pushups or the flat bench press.

Benefits
The dumbbell incline press targets the upper portion of the chest—specifically, the clavicular head of the pectoralis major—an area of the chest that's almost completely unengaged during other common chest exercises, like the traditional bench press, incline pushups, and chest fly. The incline press also hits the anterior head of the deltoid muscle of the shoulders, or the front part of your shoulder.
