How to do it

  1. Set a bench to a 30 to 45 degree incline and lie back with a dumbbell in one hand at shoulder level.
  2. Plant your feet and brace your core to keep your torso from twisting toward the weight.
  3. Press the dumbbell up over your shoulder until your arm is straight.
  4. Lower it slowly to the side of your chest, finish the set, then switch arms.

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Single-Arm Incline Dumbbell Press from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Chest volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
