Dumbbell Bench Intro
Dumbbell bench intro builds even pressing strength with independent arms—start light, control depth, and keep shoulder blades set on the bench.
Dumbbell bench intro teaches flat or slight-incline pressing with each arm moving independently—exposing side-to-side gaps machines hide. Set shoulder blades lightly pinched, feet planted, and lower bells to mid-chest with forearms vertical at the bottom.
Press without clanking weights or flaring elbows past forty-five degrees. Start with twelve to fifteen pound dumbbells for sets of eight to ten before chasing load.
Ask for a spot only on heavy bar work; dumbbells can dump safely to the floor if set up clear.
Common questions
-
Flat or incline dumbbell bench first?
Flat builds general pressing; slight incline shifts emphasis upper chest. Pick one angle for four weeks so load comparisons stay honest.
