*How Much Can You INCLINE DUMBBELL PRESS?*

[Cutting Concept]

Switched from Incline DB's to a barbell about 3 weeks ago and so far I'm likeing it a lot better. I feel that it allows me to go heavier while still keeping my form very strict. Last Tuesday my working sets were as follows:

225x10
245x8
280x5
290x3
315x1/2 assisted
Would like to(and WILL) get 3 plates raw next week.

me..maxing my lifts at 120 - 130. But it depends on my super drop set on bench. If the drop set is huge DB is low.

I use 80-90 usually, i would use more but i cant get any more wweight up to the starting position

 

[super_rice]

yeah, i got trouble getting the weight up to the starting position.

 

[wtlftr]

use a spotter to aid in the liftoff.

>yeah, i got trouble getting the weight up to the starting position

thats my problem too. Now I do it standing and basically drop my body to compensate. It's the worst part of the whole workout, and I don't even move that heavy of weights!

Yea the starting position is the hardest part. A spot helps. Once you get them up, maybe with some help, youd be surprised what you could do. I havent given dumbells a good effort, so Im not sure where Im at. I like barbells best for chest movements.

Yep, first rep is the hardest!
