I’m using the 15 degree one for incline dumbbell press (which I do on upper body day) cos I already do seated shoulder press on push day, after bench press.
i increased my weights and all i could hear was my shoulder clicking, came across your video and made adjustments to the bench and my feet.. still working on keeping them as wide as you, but as a lady.. cant be giving it all away! 😂😂 thanks for the tips, second set was so much better.
No worries lady just avoid wearing tight Tshirts while doing this exercice (or just some bra / another Tshirt under) and everything should be covered pretty good, I can feel your pain though since I'm kinda new to the gym and kinda started this exercice an hour ago, my poor left shoulder is still clicking and suffering from that 😢
I've never been a fan of the knee push, especially when the bench angle is steeper. For years, I've been doing a mini squat (from the position of sitting with the dumbbells on my quads) and then a clean to my shoulders as my body is coming back down. It's a super quick movement that happens in a single second and never fails to get heavy dumbbells set up for presses. Just like with any clean, the momentum of your body does a lot of the work getting the bells up.
Great Chest advice, although I don't think you HAVE to keep the shoulders rolled back. The key is to just make sure your sternum stays lifted throughout the movement so the Chest is activated. I'll also add, If your Chest caves in from fatigue, you need to either lighten the weight or do partials
I just keep my shoulders depressed! I'll allow retraction on the eccentric and some protraction on the concentric to move my pecs through their full from.
Awesome video, thank you! I was taught to lower my elbows at maximum 90degres but it seems you lower at less. Can you share your opinion on that please ?
How do I save this… just got done w chest, shoulders n arms and am feeling nothing in my chest…. I know I’m about to wake up to shoulder pain again some research told me why I felt it last week and I just blasted my shoulders with bad form again LOL. Great vid tho watching this before next weeks hit.
Hey Ive been doing this for a couple weeks now, I feel it in my shoulders as well and they get a little fatigued after heavy weights but I have no problem doing 10 reps of what I'm lifting is that normal?
the dumbells should be further over your chest, slightly closer together by having your elbows travel closer to your torso through the movement... you also seem to drive up using your triceps more than chest, because you do not activate your chest before you press up.
Just do what you did before, backwards. Lift your knees up to the weights and shift the weight from your arm to your knee as you roll forward and sit up.
Bruh literally everything i do i can still barely feel my chest, i make sure to squeeze my back and round my sjoulders back and everything but i still cant feel my chest, i can kind of feel it when the weight is going down but i cant squeeze it because the dumbells get in tje way of me being able to push my arms closer to each other
When you come up with the dumb bells make sure the dumb bells come in close to each other (in the centre but not touching each other) then come back down in starting position.
Rotator cuff issue. Your muscles are strong enough to handle the weight but your joints and tendons are not. Google rotator cuff exercises and continue to trian but train light in the 12-20 rep range until the pain is gone and then go to 6-12 reps
@@Alroytt i fixed, I added more rest beetwen exercises and I realized I was also pushing the weight up and back to much so my shoulder were hurting because of that, idk, also now Im doing 45° incline because it feels better, I couldnt do 20kg without pain before, now im doing 40kg pain free
So I'm no expert but I've been working out a while so here is my personal advice as to why you might be feeling it more in your shoulders than your chest. Explanation 1 is that you might not be tucking your shoulders back into the bench when you do the pressing motion. By not retracting your shoulder blades, you're forcing your front delt to activate for a lot of the pressing movement which in turn takes away tension from the chest. Explanation number 2 could be that your raising your bench too high. Research shows that if your bench is inclined to even the 45 degree point, your front delts start to take over the pressing motion. This is why it is recommended to leave the incline between 15 and 30 degrees. At any local gym, the benches will have numbers on the rail as you slide the bench up. You want to position the top of the bench on number 3, which will be the equivalent of a 30 degree incline which will give you maximum chest activation during your incline bench press. I really hope this helps!
It looks like you're leaving a lot of room for valuable rom at the top of your press that would still involve mostly pec tension? Educate me if I'm wrong.

Wrong. You dont put your feet as far back as you can because you are unnecessarily putting tension on your hips and lower back which is therefore taken away from the chest.
not locking the elbows is a huge improvement from how i was doing it. thank you so much
Thanks so much for that tip because I’m just starting to workout 4 days a week and starting to use this great exercise
Good work man, how you progressing?
Love the 30 degree Incline bench with dumbbells because it hits the upper chest AND shoulders!
Do you feel your chest?
@@indinite yup
I’m using the 15 degree one for incline dumbbell press (which I do on upper body day) cos I already do seated shoulder press on push day, after bench press.
@@indinite Yes, of course. With any pressing movement you'll feel the chest.
@@bobdarrick2628 But 15 degrees is too close to flat. You need a greater separation from Flat to work different muscles.
Kicking up the dumbbells with knees feels like a flex move 😵💫
Have you tried it? It's easier than it looks
It's the easiest way. Easier than you would think
Safest and easiest way

the outward rotation of the feet helped me a lot thank you
Agreed, the details makes the difference
Yeah but all I feel is on shoulders nothing on my chest for some reason. Can someone help
Try lowering the bench angle
Thanks for a comprehensive video, really helps!
Thanks so much, very helpful with specifics so I can do this right!
Super detail bro. Superrrr detail. And I’ve seen dozens of videos. This is the best detail. 😂
cant go wrong with this. i like the emphasis on creating a strong solid base to push off of. makes a big difference
I use 37 degrees dumbbell inclined-bench press and fixed 45 degrees barbell incline bench press both my bread and butter go to.
Only 100 likes but probably the best video on this I’ve found
Amazing tutorial ❤️ thank you for showing the back bit as well, it was super helpful to see what I should be doing
The most detailed video I’ve found! Thank you!

Can you send me a video of this? I was just wondering if doing a clean is better I hate kicking them up.
Now a tutorial with heavy weight.
You got them up so easy
This was realy helpful for me. Thenkyou!!

I never had this problem before nor do I have it with shoulder press but for some reason now I find the first set up rep suuuper hard
Perfect form 👍

Thanks sir it help me a lot
Do you just drop the weights after you're done with the set?
How about for heavy dumbells
Pulling the weights closer together at the top maximases tension
You lose tension as you lock out your elbows. For maximum tension you lower the dumbells all the way to your chest
Is there a way I can do that without looking like I’m doing the splits
i feel. it more on my forearms than chest
About to have Popeye arms.
I usually get lower back pain after doing inclined dumbbell press. What should I do to avoid lower back pain?
Hey Ive been doing this for a couple weeks now, I feel it in my shoulders as well and they get a little fatigued after heavy weights but I have no problem doing 10 reps of what I'm lifting is that normal?
The higher the incline the more it'll hit your front delts
How can I lift more started lifting 20 s now but just for 9-10 reps with struggle which makes my form go bad
What to do if I feel the tension and pain to my shoulder?
the dumbells should be further over your chest, slightly closer together by having your elbows travel closer to your torso through the movement...
you also seem to drive up using your triceps more than chest, because you do not activate your chest before you press up.
Getting shoulder pain, please help
Very helpful. Thank you!
Just brilliant!
Do i have keep my shoulder blades pinched all the time ??🤔🤔
Preferably yes
Thanks! This was helpful
Thanks man!
My left shoulder got strain while doing incline dumbell press ??
If you arch your back too much wouldn’t it turn into a flat bench because of the way your body is positioned?
How would I get out of this position after I’m done with all reps🙏🏼
You levitate
Just do what you did before, backwards. Lift your knees up to the weights and shift the weight from your arm to your knee as you roll forward and sit up.
i tried to go from 50 to 55 and i can’t seem to lift them off without struggling, i seem to struggle pushing off after just 5lbs extra, any advice?
Hey I don't feel my chest THAT MUCH
Am I doing it wrong or nah?
Awesome, thanks
Is my full back suppose on the bench or just my upper back? Because when I push thru I feel like my whole back is suppose to be flat
I mostly feel it in my shoulders, any tips on how to focus more on chest?
Dont extend your shoulders all the way up when lifting up, do just enough that your shoulders dont go up idk if i explained that well😅
@@swervofxYou didn’t.
15 degrees incline activates more of the upper chest
But also makes your lower chest help out a lot more. 30 degree is where it's at for most people for more "pure" upper chest.
Correct is 30-45, 15 let’s your lower chest help out
Nice video
well said
What about for your back, should it be flat or have a slight curve?
I'm new, please guide me, when we are lifting weights up, do we have to keep the weights parallel to chest, or parallel to ground? Thanks
Whats the path travel for incline db?
Good stuff man 💪
How am I supposed to kick 50kg dumbells into place? I ain't got that kind of power in my legs
my biggest issue is keeping my base.
Are you forcing a big back arch here?
I love my front delt!
Song name?

@@setsotilin you should be doing incline bench press at 30 degrees any thing other that its a front delt exercise
That was almost as complicated as the Death Star plans. 😮
Can you keep your head raised or does your head have to be back on the bench?
Back on the Bench
Decent explanation. 5 points concept really works well 👌💪🏼
Perfect

How heavy do you usually go on this?
Whatever you can perform with good form and the last rep is quite difficult.
I do it exactly this way ahaha
I did that with my back and got a cramp lmao
It looks like you're leaving a lot of room for valuable rom at the top of your press that would still involve mostly pec tension? Educate me if I'm wrong.
30-45° for chest tension
tq
This is difficult when you progress to heavy weights, just use barbell
So much. Just start by pushing the dumbbells up.
I need basic incline too Much place this place dat
one addition, keep your arms straight and not bent in
Why do exercises have so many steps😭
U said butt lol!!
You forgot to slap your own butt and holler before you grabbed the weight. Other than that? Solid
So handsome 😍😍😍🥰🥰😍

Lockout using your chest
