How to One Arm Dumbbell Bench Press

Starting Position

1. Lie on the bench with a dumbbell in one hand and your feet fixed on the floor.

2. Pull your shoulders back and hold them in place so that your shoulders are behind your chest.

3. Keep your lower back in a natural arch shape.

Proper Form

1. Slowly lower the dumbbell so that it is next to your chest.

2. At this time, your forearm should be perpendicular to the floor.

3. Slowly lift the dumbbell to return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when you bend your arms, and exhale when you push your arms.

Precautions

1. If you cannot 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 past your chest, as this can put strain on your shoulders.

3. Please be careful not to let your hips come off the bench.
