Exercise Description

The dumbbell bench exercise builds chest strength and muscle mass while improving upper body power. It gives you a bigger range of motion than barbell bench press.

How To

1. Lie on a bench holding dumbbells at chest level with palms facing forward 2. Keep your feet flat on the floor and squeeze your shoulder blades together 3. Press the dumbbells straight up until your arms are fully extended above your chest 4. Lower the dumbbells slowly back to starting position for the dumbbell bench exercise 5. Repeat for desired reps while keeping control throughout the entire movement

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight and back pressed against the bench throughout the dumbbell bench movement • Don't let the dumbbells drift toward your head - keep them over your chest • Use a full range of motion by lowering the weights until you feel a stretch • Breathe out as you press up and breathe in as you lower down

Common Mistakes

• Arching your back too much off the bench during the dumbbell bench exercise • Using dumbbells that are too heavy and losing control of the movement • Pressing the weights at an angle instead of straight up from your chest
