degree angle, located somewhere between
the flat bench and a normal incline bench. By raising the bench too high
you will be using supporting muscles which you don't want to do. See if
you can find an adjustable bench at the gym since most incline benches are
positioned at a 45 degree angle. Know that you have the angle
of the bench down, let's talk about the motion of the lift. Angle
your motion a little upward over the upper end of your chest, as you
raise the dumbbells. As you bring the weights together you can turn
your thumbs slightly towards each other. When performing this lift
make sure to lift very heavy and slow for size. When doing this
exercise it is easy to tear a muscle if you aren't careful. By
lifting slow you also take away any momentum that would have helped
you cheat. Although I recommend you lift heavy, start off with
lighter weights to get the form down. Once you can do ten reps with
ease start using heavier weights. You'll be surprised how much mass
you can add to your upper, outer chest simply by making some
adjustments, to an exercise you're probably already doing. |
