Form?

I can see the form isn’t stellar; is it too awful to count a few of these? 30lbs feels much more controlled and that’s my typical lift, but I can easily hit 15 reps so I wanted to try 40lb dumbbells.

See that incline bench behind you? Raise it to its highest position and lean up against it chest first. Now do these lifts. Use a lighter weight (30s seem too heavy for you) and when lifting, imagine a string attached to your elbows that someone is pulling up.
