    Dumbbell Incline Palms in Press

    The dumbbell incline palm-in press is a chest exercise performed on an incline bench with dumbbells, focusing on the upper pectorals while also engaging the shoulders and tricep. The palms face each other throughout the movement, which can reduce shoulder strain and emphasize the inner chest.
