Exercise Description

The resistance banded dumbbell bench press builds chest muscle while adding constant tension throughout the movement. It creates more time under tension than regular bench press.

How To

1. Lie on bench with resistance band anchored under bench, band handles in each hand along with dumbbells 2. Position dumbbells at chest level with band creating slight tension at bottom of movement 3. Press dumbbells up and together in controlled motion, feeling resistance banded dumbbell bench press tension increase 4. Squeeze chest muscles at top position, fighting against band tension pulling weights down 5. Lower dumbbells slowly to chest, maintaining control against the resistance banded dumbbell bench press band tension

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders pinned back against the bench throughout the resistance banded dumbbell bench press movement • Don't let the band snap the weights down - control the descent with your muscles • Press dumbbells slightly inward at the top to maximize chest contraction during resistance banded dumbbell bench press • Keep your feet planted firmly on the ground for stability

Common Mistakes

• Using too much band tension that overpowers the dumbbells during resistance banded dumbbell bench press setup • Letting the resistance band control the descent instead of using controlled muscle tension • Pressing straight up instead of slightly inward, missing the full chest contraction in resistance banded dumbbell bench press
