Exercise Spotlight – Dumbbell Bench Press

1/10/2020

 
Picture
​The Dumbbell Bench Press is a great upper body pushing exercise. It is normally allows for a greater ROM than a standard barbell flat bench press and is a good way to get extra volume through the pecs, shoulders and triceps. If you are trying to improve your press-ups or dips then this movement will help! When bench isn’t necessarily a priority movement, I prefer to utilise the DB Bench Press as it is easier to set up, works your arms independently and through a greater ROM and can more easily be super-setted with other exercises to increase training density.
Exercise Suitability:
Beginners: ✔️
Advanced: ✔️
 
What are the key technique points?
  • Squeeze the shoulder blades back to form a solid base against the bench to press from
  • Brace your abs tight, squeeze your glutes and legs to maintain full body tension throughout
  • Push the dumbbells up in a straight line and keep the elbows tucked in slightly as you lower them under control
​If you'd like to have everything taken care of for you then I offer both in-person 1-2-1 personal training in Glasgow and online personal training. You can check them out by clicking each option or send me a message now if you have any questions.
