Dumbbell Bench Press
Overall chestCoach's Tips
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!
How to Dumbbell Bench Press
Starting Position
1. Sit upright on a flat bench with your feet flat on the floor.
2. Take a dumbbell in each hand and hold them at shoulder-height, with your elbows bent and palms facing forward.
