Dumbbell Bench Press

Purpose of this exercise: PECTORALIS MAJOR, DELTOIDS AND TRICEPS BRACHIUS

This variation on the Bench Press will help increase your bench-press capacity as well as work through a greater range of motion. The need to balance and control the two weights forces the muscles on both sides of the chest to develop together.

Technique

1.	Lie on a flat bench with feet flat on the floor
2.	Take a dumbbell in each hand and hold them straight up overhead with palms facing forward.
3.	Lower the dumbbells to the chest slowly and under control until the dumbbells touch the chest
4.	Press dumbbells upward while exhaling until arms are fully extended.

CAUTIONS!!

•During the motion, do not arch your neck or back because you could injure your spinal disks.
•Never exercise without a competent spotter.
