The
Dumbbell Chest Press is a premier exercise to work the chest, shoulder
and arm regions. Begin by laying supine on an exercise bench. The back
should be flat against the bench with the feet just wider than
should-width apart. Position the dumbbells on the sides of the chest,
with bent arms under each weight. Your grip should place the knuckles
perpendicular with the torso. In a pressing motion, raise both weights
upward until the arms are extended. Once extended, slowly lower the
weights down to the sides of the upper chest -- you should feel a slight
stretch in the chest and shoulders. Repeat this motion to perform
another repetition.
Major Muscles Involved: Pectoralis Major, Anterior Deltoid, Triceps Brachii
