DUMBBELL CHEST PRESS

Exercise Execution:

  • Pick up the dumbbells off the floor using a neutral grip (palms facing in). Position the ends of the dumbbells on your quads, and sit down on the bench.
  • To get into position, lay back and keep the weights close to your chest. Once you are in position, take a deep breath, and press the dumbbells to lockout at the top.
  • Slowly lower the dumbbells under control as far as comfortably possible and safely.
  • Contract the chest and push the dumbbells back up to the starting position.
