How to Dumbbell Bench Press

This video demonstrates how to do dumbbell bench press. Dennis Tran is the demonstrator.


Level: Intermediate
Muscles: Pectoralis, Triceps Brachii
Equipment: Bench + Dumbbell Weights

Step 1: Start with a weight that is manageable if this is your first time doing this exercise. Grab two dumbbells and while standing let them sit on your thigh muscles. Next sit down on one side of the bench, while having the dumbbell weights resting on your thighs.

Step 2: Next lie down on your back against the bench while lifting the weights into position of a bench press. Have your hands about shoulder width apart and push the dumbbell weights straight up as if you were doing a regular bench press.

Step 3: Lower the weights as far as shoulder mobility allows. Be careful with lowering too far as this can put a lot of stress on the shoulder joints.

Safety Tips:
1. Have a spotter if you are lifting a weight that is difficult for you.
2. If you lose control, immediately push the weights away from your torso and head and drop them on the ground.
3. If a weight is difficult to get into position, have a spotter help you get the dumbbell weights into position for the exercise.
4. Use your legs to help push the dumbbell weights into bench press position.
