Dumbbell Incline One Arm Press

Muscles involved

If you are wondering exactly where the Dumbbell Incline One Arm Press fits into your workout session, the choice comes down to your primary focus for the day. Training unilaterally with heavy dumbbells makes this an exceptional option for your main strength block, as it isolates one side to address force imbalances and forces your chest to work with incredible intensity. Alternatively, it serves as a fantastic finisher at the end of your upper body routine, letting you maximize muscular fatigue through controlled tempo and focused isolation. By giving individual attention to each arm, you ensure a precise muscular stimulus and a deeper neuromuscular connection, making your bench routine far more balanced and effective overall.

How to do it

1. Lie on an inclined bench with your feet supported on the floor. 2. Hold a dumbbell with one hand in a neutral grip and keep your arm extended over your chest. 3. Lower the dumbbell slowly towards your shoulder until it forms a 90° angle. 4. Press upward until you fully extend your arm and repeat before changing sides.
