What is a dumbbell fly, and how can I do it?
The Dumbbell Chest Raise is an upper body exercise that helps strengthen your chest and shoulders. The dumbbell raise is an exercise that allows you to really focus on squeezing your chest muscles, which can help trigger muscle growth rather than using the brute force that so often becomes the main focus of the bench press. Using it can help you get the full range of motion from dumbbell chest raises without overstretching.
You can also try doing the movement without weights to get used to the movement. If your upper body routine includes push-ups, dumbbell incline raises can make it easier to do them because the same muscles and stabilizers are used. This chest exercise focuses on the upper chest and can help build pectoral strength more evenly. The main difference between dumbbell incline raises and flat raises is that incline raises target the upper chest while flat raises target the middle of the chest.
Incline dumbbell raises also stretch the pecs and stimulate the contraction of the shoulder blades, bringing the shoulder blades together at the back. The main difference between bent-over dumbbell raises and bent-over dumbbell presses is that arm raises provide more direct chest stimulation, while bench presses allow you to use higher loads because more muscles (shoulders and triceps) are involved in the movement. Incline dumbbell raises allow for a much wider range of motion than other chest exercises such as the bench press. The Incline Dumbbell Raise is an isolation exercise that targets the upper chest muscles, engaging the hard to develop upper pectoral muscles, which cannot be achieved with the flat bench press.
