Dumbbell Bench Press
Overall chestAbout
Since it is a bench press done with dumbbells, the range of motion of the hands can go wider than using the barbell. If you are squeezing the pecs inwards, you may feel a better burn!
Coach's Tips
Lie down on the bench and pull your shoulder blades together and lift the dumbbells up to your chest!
When lowering your arms, make a 90-degree angle and move in a vertical direction towards your chest.

How to Dumbbell Bench Press
Starting Position
1. Lie on the bench holding a dumbbell in both hands and keep your feet fixed on the floor.
2. Pull your shoulders back and hold them in place so that your shoulders are positioned behind your chest.
3. Make sure your lower back has a natural arch.
Proper Form
1. Slowly lower the dumbbell so that it is next to your chest.
2. At this time, your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor.
3. Slowly lift the dumbbell back to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Inhale while bending your arms, and exhale while pushing your arms.
Precautions
1. If you can't lower the dumbbell to chest height, please lower it as much as you can without straining.
2. Be careful not to let your shoulders come forward of your chest, as this can put strain on your shoulders.
3. Please be careful not to let your hips come off the bench.
