The incline dumbbell press is one of the classics – A free weight movement which you can feel free to heavily overload on. We’re focusing on the upper chest and the anterior deltoids, with an incline movement, this time done with each arm independently, using a pair of dumbbells.
With the barbell incline bench press, we might easily experience a more prominent development of the stronger side that takes over. And this is not the case here, making this the perfect exercise to even out disbalances.
