Incline Dumbbell Flyes
Purpose of Exercise: To develop the pectorals with specific emphasis on the upper pecs.
Execution of Exercise: Hold two dumbbells at arms length with your palms facing each other(inward). Lower the dumbbells down and out in as wide an arc as is comfortable/feasible, pay attention to getting as good a stretch as possible from your pecs. Lower the weights in this wide arc until your elbows are in line with your shoulder blades. From this position pull the weights back up in the wide arc making sure not to press the weight up.
Important Points: Do not move up and down in a jerky or uncontrolled manner - this is a potentially dangerous exercise. Remember that you are using your pecs in this exercise, the weight is pulled/lowered in an arc and there is no pressing involved. This exercise can also be done on a flat bench.
