Exercise guide

Incline Bench Pull

The Incline Bench Pull described by the source is a chest-supported dumbbell exercise, despite its equipment field listing a barbell. The elbows travel outward as the upper arms rise toward the level of the torso, placing emphasis on the middle back and rear shoulders while the lats assist.

Training context

What Is the Incline Bench Pull?

The movement resembles a wide-elbow chest-supported row or reverse press. Supporting the chest on the bench reduces the ability to use torso momentum and helps isolate the upper-back movement.

This record should be reviewed before publication because its equipment metadata conflicts with every instruction. The exercise description clearly calls for two dumbbells.

Technique overview

Raise the elbows without lifting the chest

Set the bench near 30 degrees and lie face down with one dumbbell in each hand. Let the arms hang with the palms facing back or down, then pull the elbows outward until the upper arms approach the level of the torso. Pause briefly and lower slowly. Keep the chest supported throughout the repetition.

Treat this as an overview and use a range, pace, and setup you can control.
