Workout Wednesday

Incline Dumbbell Press
Lie on an incline bench(set an angle less than 60 degrees to avoid placing too much emphasis
on the deltoids) with your elbows bent. Hold the dumbbells with an overhand grip: -Inhale and extend your arms until the weights touch - Exhale as you complete the movement.
This excercize works the pectorals (particularly the upper part) while stretching them. It also
works the anterior deltoids, seratus anterior, and pectoralis minor(both stabilize the scapulae, allowing the arm to work with the torso), and the triceps.
Variation: to isolate the effort on the upper pectorals, start the movement with an overhand
grip and rotate your wrists so the dumbbells face each other.
