Coach's Tips

The incline hammer bench press strengthens your upper chest, triceps, and front shoulders. It helps build upper body thickness.

1. Sit back against the incline bench, then move into a lying position while holding dumbbells in both hands.

2. Raise the dumbbells to shoulder height, keeping your palms facing each other.

3. Keep your elbows close to your torso and slightly puff out your chest to get ready.

1. Push the dumbbells up and forward while extending your arms.

2. Raise the dumbbells until they come close together above your chest, then pause for a moment.

3. Slowly bend your elbows and lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.

4. Control the movement so that both dumbbells move at the same speed and repeat.

Exhale when you push the dumbbell up, and inhale when you lower the dumbbell.

1. Do not excessively bend your waist, and keep your hips and back against the bench.

2. Maintain an angle of about 30 to 45 degrees with your torso to prevent your elbows from flaring out too much.

3. Avoid using dumbbells that are too heavy to control.
