Exercise Description

The twisting dumbbell bench press builds chest strength while adding rotation to fire up your core. It hits your pecs from new angles and improves stability.

How To

1. Lie on a bench holding dumbbells at chest level with palms facing your feet 2. Press the weights up while rotating your wrists so palms face away at the top 3. Squeeze your chest hard and twist your core as you press up for the twisting dumbbell bench press 4. Slowly lower the dumbbells back down while rotating palms back toward your feet 5. Keep your core tight throughout the entire twisting dumbbell bench press movement

Form Tips

• Keep your shoulders pulled back and down on the bench during the twisting dumbbell bench press • Rotate your wrists smoothly - don't jerk or snap them • Press up in a slight arc toward your upper chest, not straight up • Keep your core engaged throughout the twisting dumbbell bench press to protect your lower back

Common Mistakes

• Rotating the weights too fast and losing control during the twisting dumbbell bench press • Letting your shoulders roll forward instead of staying pinned to the bench • Pressing straight up instead of following the natural arc of the twisting dumbbell bench press movement
