Press dumbbells up and slightly together in smooth arc motion for palms in decline dumbbell bench press 4. Squeeze chest at top, then lower dumbbells slowly back to starting position 5. Keep your back flat against bench throughout the entire palms in decline dumbbell bench press movement

Form Tips

Common Mistakes

• Lowering dumbbells too far down, which can hurt your shoulders during palms in decline dumbbell bench press • Using too much weight and losing control of the movement • Arching back off the bench instead of keeping it flat for proper palms in decline dumbbell bench press form
