The dumbbell bench press is a compound chest exercise targeting the pectorals, triceps, and anterior deltoids. Using dumbbells allows for a greater range of motion and independent arm movement compared to a barbell, improving chest development and correcting imbalances.
How to do it
- Lie flat on a bench with a dumbbell in each hand at chest level, palms facing forward.
- Plant your feet flat on the floor and arch your lower back slightly.
- Press both dumbbells upward simultaneously until your arms are fully extended above your chest.
- Pause at the top, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to chest level.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
