The dumbbell incline bench fly is a variation of the traditional dumbbell bench fly that focuses on targeting the upper chest muscles (upper pectorals) more effectively. By performing the exercise on an inclined bench, you change the angle of the movement, emphasizing the upper portion of the chest and engaging the shoulders to a lesser extent.
Let's get started by setting up an incline bench press. Then lie on the bench with your feet firmly on the floor. Grab your dumbbells and press them up so they are above your chest with straight arms and your palms facing each other.
This is the starting position.
From here, open up the hands until your arms are parallel to the floor. Once here, bring the weights carefully back to the starting position. Keep a slight bend in your arms the entire time. This is one repetition, now repeat for the desired amount.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
