How to do it

  1. 01

    Sit on an Incline Bench while holding a dumbbell on each hand on top of your thighs.

  2. 02

    Lift your legs up to kick the weights to your shoulders and lean back. Position the dumbbells above your shoulders with your arms extended. The arms should be perpendicular to the floor with your palms facing forward and knuckles pointing towards the ceiling. This will be your starting position.

  3. 03

    While keeping the arms straight and locked, lift the dumbbells by raising the shoulders from the bench as you breathe out.

  4. 04

    Bring back the dumbbells to the starting position as you breathe in.

  5. 05

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

In the app

Dumbbell Incline Shoulder Raise appears when you own dumbbells and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have dumbbells

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
