Exercise: Alternate Dumbbell Incline Press

  Print This Page  Send to a Friend

• Lie with back on incline bench, holding dumbbells with palms facing each other at upper chest

• Extend both arms toward ceiling, keeping palms facing in

• Keeping left arm locked out, lower right dumbbell to chest, then punch it toward ceiling

• Keeping right arm locked out, lower left dumbbell to chest, then punch it toward ceiling

• Repeat sequence for specified reps

Sets/Reps: 4x10 each arm

Making Gaines: We make sure Reggie keeps his arms turned in a punching motion, because there’s never a time in football when your arms should be out wide. You’re probably holding if they are out there. You have to be explosive and tight from the armpit and be able to punch straight up. Make sure to keep your arms locked out in close, not wide. This is a great stabilization exercise for upper-body muscles.
