Dumbbell Bench Press

How to do it

Lie back on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand, feet flat on the floor and shoulder blades pulled together against the bench.
Position the dumbbells at chest level with the elbows bent to about 45 degrees from the torso, palms facing the feet.
Press both dumbbells up and slightly inward until the arms extend above the chest, driving through the chest and triceps.
Inhale as the dumbbells descend and exhale while pressing them back to the top.
Lower the dumbbells until the upper arms dip just below the level of the bench, feeling a stretch across the chest.
Keep the wrists stacked directly over the elbows and avoid letting the dumbbells drift forward over the face.
