Both of these exercises can be extremely beneficial for your overall body and can be a good addition to any workout routine.

Incline Dumbbell Press

For the unversed, an incline dumbbell press is basically pressing dumbbells from the chest by extending the arms up, while sitting at a 30 to 45 incline. This exercise targets your chest, shoulders, and triceps, and tones your upper chest muscles. Doing this exercise will help increase the strength and size of your upper body.

Squats

The squat is a great exercise for your joints and muscles. It helps build strength in your upper and lower body. When performed correctly, this functional exercise helps burn more calories, prevents injuries, strengthens your core, and improves your posture and overall balance.

Rajinikanth is seen performing the exercise on a bench, which is a good idea for someone who wants to perform this exercise in a much safer way. Bench squats or chair squats are still effective, as they can help improve body strength, balance, and mobility, while also reducing the risk of falls.
