How to do Incline Dumbbell Pullover

Start the exercise by lying on a bench inclined at an angle of 30 degrees, with your face upward. Hold a lighter dumbbell (about 20 lbs) with both hands, while straightening your arms overhead. Slowly bring the weight down by bending at your shoulders until you feel a stretch in your upper chest muscles. Move the dumbbell back to the initial position.
