- Hold a dumbbell on each hand and lie on an incline bench that is set to an incline angle of no more than 30 degrees.
- Extend your arms above you with a slight bend at the elbows.
- Now rotate the wrists so that the palms of your hands are facing you. Tip: The pinky fingers should be next to each other. This will be your starting position.
- As you breathe in, start to slowly lower the arms to the side while keeping the arms extended and while rotating the wrists until the palms of the hand are facing each other. Tip: At the end of the movement the arms will be by your side with the palms facing the ceiling.
- As you exhale start to bring the dumbbells back up to the starting position by reversing the motion and rotating the hands so that the pinky fingers are next to each other again. Tip: Keep in mind that the movement will only happen at the shoulder joint and at the wrist. There is no motion that happens at the elbow joint.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
Variations: You can perform regular flyes and also twisting flyes where your initial position starts with the thumbs facing each other instead of the pinky.

Tip: Incline Dumbbell Flyes
Sep 11, 2012 1:33 PM: This is not meant to be used with heavy weights, go light; as you are more so streching the muscles in the upper Peck and not wanting to strain your shoulders or tear a muscle. Cheers!

Review: Incline Dumbbell Flyes
May 30, 2012 4:58 PM: I'm a little worried about this exercise and a shoulder with some old injuries. At the bottom of the fly I felt a little pain, using the weight I could do 6-8 reps of (30lbs)
Should I do these on the floor to keep from over extending my shoulder? maybe I should go easy on the weight and...+See More
