Mastering the Incline Dumbbell Fly for Stronger & Bigger Chest. Set up the incline bench to a 15–45 degree angle. Imagine you’re trying to hug a tree while you complete the exercise. Don’t squeeze the dumbbell handles excessively tight as this can over recruit the forearms and biceps thereby reducing activation of the pecs. Always keep a slight bend in the elbows and never lower the weight to the point where you get any sort of pain and pressure at the front of the shoulder joint. If you’re feeling pain within the shoulder joint itself (specifically at the front), ensure your shoulder blades are slightly retracted. Ensure you maintain some tension in your abs and don’t allow your lower back to excessive arch. Inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells in an arc until your arms are almost parallel to the ground.
