Chest Press

step by step guide:

  1. Sit on a bench and set the dumbbells on your knees.

  2. Lay back and kick your knees back while pressing the dumbbells up over your shoulders.

  3. Place your feet back on the ground. You are now in the start position.

  4. Lower the dumbbells down just outside your torso and press the dumbbells back up.

  5. When you’re done with the set, bring your knees up and lower the dumbbells down to your knees, then rock forward and set the dumbbells on the ground.

Common Mistakes:

  1. Not going down far enough. Move through a full range of motion to train the muscles most efficiently.

  2. Lowering the dumbbells down too far outside of your body. Keep the dumbbells close so that you’re not putting excess strain on your shoulders with heavy weights. There’s a different exercise called the DB Fly that is done with this technique but with much lighter weights.
