The dumbbell chest press is one of my favourite strength exercises to perform. I prefer to use it as a complement to a bench press because both arms are working independently from one another to achieve the lift. This helps to further define the balance between your muscles. Dumbbell chest press can be done in a variety of ways some including: incline, decline or flat bench, swiss ball or on a step. Here are the steps on how to perform this exercise:
1. Lay down on the bench in a supinated position with weights straight over the chest, holding them with a closed grip.
2. Bend your elbows and lower the arms down until the elbows are just below the chest. (Refer to picture)
3. Push the weights back up making sure not to lock your elbows and draw the weights together.
4. Repeat for 3 sets of 8-15 repetitions.
