Adjust a weight lifting bench with an incline set at about a 30% angle. Sit with your back and hips against the back pad, knees bent and in line with ankles.Hold a set of dumbells with your arms extended above midchest, palms facing forward and wrists in a neutral position. Contract abs to bring the spine into a neutral position and lower the dumbells out and to the sides until the elbows are bent to 90% and the wrists align with the elbows. Contract the chest muscles to press the weights back up to the start position and repeat. Breathe out on the contraction and keep the movement slow and controlled.

This exercise strengthens the chest, fronts of shoulders and the triceps.
