Dumbbell Bench Press 101

► Dumbbells allow for a slightly greater range of motion, take advantage of this. A greater stretch and contraction is beneficial.
► ALL of the key points of the barbell presses hold true here as well (see yesterdays post)
► When pressing a dumbbell, once your hands come above your shoulders, you lose tension in your chest. There is no longer any force exerting tension on the pec muscles. Keep your hands Slightly outside shoulder width to ensure continuous tension.
