Exercise Profile

Dumbbells Bench Press Overview

The dumbbell bench press is a chest-focused workout that uses dumbbells to engage the pectoral muscles.

While it also works the shoulders and triceps, the dumbbells allow for greater range of motion and muscle activation.

Dumbbells Bench Press Instructions

  1. Start by lying flat on a bench, holding a dumbbell in each hand, with your feet flat on the floor.
  2. Extend your arms straight up, directly above your shoulders, with your palms facing forward.
  3. Inhale, and slowly lower the dumbbells towards your chest, bending your elbows at a 90-degree angle.
  4. Pause for a moment, then exhale as you push the dumbbells back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the desired number of repetitions.

Dumbbells Bench Press Tips

  1. Start with a weight you can handle comfortably, focusing on proper form rather than heavy lifting.
  2. Position yourself on a flat bench, feet firmly planted on the ground and back pressed against the bench.
  3. Grip the dumbbells with your palms facing forward, keeping your wrists straight and elbows slightly bent.
  4. Lower the dumbbells slowly, bringing them to the sides of your chest, while keeping your elbows at a 90-degree angle.
  5. Push the dumbbells up explosively, squeezing your chest muscles at the top of the movement.
  6. Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise, maintaining stability and preventing excessive arching of the back.
  7. Remember to breathe steadily, exhaling as you push the dumbbells up and inhaling as you lower them down.
