The dumbbell incline bench close grip press is a combination of two variations of the dumbbell bench press: the incline bench press and the close grip press. This exercise primarily targets the upper chest and triceps muscles, providing an effective compound movement that engages multiple muscle groups.
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 have them in line with your shoulders, with your elbows tucked into your side.
This is the starting position.
From here, press the dumbbells away from your chest. Once fully extended, start to lower the weights carefully back down to the starting position. Keep your elbows tucked in the entire movement. 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.
