Dumbbell Bench Press
In this video Head Coach, Adrian Ball, covers the dumbbell bench press. The dumbbell bench press is a fantastic exercise for the overall development of the chest working majority of the Pectoral muscles and the front deltoids.
-
Lie on the bench with a dumbbell in each hand and your feet flat on the floor.
-
Push the dumbbells up so that your arms are directly over your shoulders.
-
Pull your abdominals in, and keep your head flat against the bench throughout the movement.
-
Lower the dumbbells down and a little to the side until your elbows are at 90 degrees.
-
Roll your shoulder blades back and down, like you’re pinching them together, this will push out your chest, helping you to focus them more during the movement.
-
Push the weights back up, taking care not to allow your shoulder blades to rise off the bench.
- Repeat for repetitions.
