I used to rest the dumbbells on my legs as I was already sitting on the bench and "bumped" them up to my chest by doing a small kick up with my leg. I'll have to try this method.
I'd learnt this technique watching Ronnie Coleman do this - seems so logical after you've seen it once. You just let physics help you out - Neat idea :)
thank you :)

"The one safe way to do this is. . ."
with dumbbell hooks.
Humping heavy dumbbells up and down as shown here is unnecessary and outdated.
Use dumbbell hooks instead. You (and your shoulders) will thank me.

Any suggestions for decline press? I do this flat and incline but drop them on declines.

Awesome, thanks for the info.Will save me from possible injury since I aggravated my shoulders the other day with dumbbells and dips the other day.
