Seated Incline Dumbbell Bench Press with Coach Jose of Infinite Motivation

Start by setting your bench at a 30 to 45-degree angle. Sit down with a dumbbell resting on each thigh and to get into position, kick the dumbbells with your legs as you lie on to the bench. Once you're down, lock your shoulder blades into the bench lie you're tucking them into your back pockets. Plant your feet flat on the floor. Hold the dumbbells just above your chest, with your elblows slightly in front of your shoulders, pressing the dumbbells straight up like you're pushing the ceiling away. Then slowly lower them until your elbows are just below shoulder level. Keeping your chest high, elbows at about a 45 deg angle and controlling the movement the whole way. Now, from the sideview, notice how feet stay planted and my lower back stays pressed into the bench. My shoulder blades stay pulled back as my chest stays up. And as I press, my wrist stays stacked over my elbows and the dumbbells move in a straight line. At the top, I don't slam the weights together and I stop with control. On the way down, my elbows come just below my shoulders without droppign too far and the key to this movement is staying tight through your core and moving with control and not with speed.
