Neutral Grip Dumbbell Press
How to do it
- Lie back on a flat bench holding a dumbbell in each hand at the sides of your chest with your palms facing each other.
- Keep your wrists straight and your feet planted, with the neutral grip set and your shoulder blades pinned to the bench.
- Brace your core and press the dumbbells straight up until your arms extend, driving the movement through your chest and triceps.
- Squeeze your chest at the top as the dumbbells travel toward each other, then lower them under control back to the sides of your chest.
- Exhale as you press up and inhale as you lower the dumbbells with a slow, controlled tempo.
- Avoid letting your wrists roll open or trying to muscle the weight with your grip, since your chest and triceps should power the press.
