How to do it
- Lie on a flat bench holding a dumbbell in each hand above your chest, palms facing each other and the dumbbells pressed firmly together.
- Keeping the dumbbells squeezed together, lower them slowly to your mid-chest.
- Press them back up to straight arms while you keep squeezing them together.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Form tips
- Squeeze the dumbbells together hard for the whole set; that squeeze is what works your chest.
- Keep your elbows close to your body.
- Use hex dumbbells so their flat sides sit flush against each other.
