How to do the Benchpress Dumbbells
- The movement is very similar to benchpressing with a barbell, however, the weight is brought down to the chest at a lower point.
- Hold two dumbbells and lay down on a bench. Hold the weights next to the chest, at the height of your nipples and press them up till the arms are stretched. Let the weight slowly and controlled down.
