Dumbbell Press - Starting Position

1. Place your dumbbells near your feet.

2. Keeping your head up and back flat, bend down, grab hold of your dumbbells and place them on your thighs (just above your knees).

3. Holding your legs at a 90 degree angle from your body, slowly fall backward until your back will be resting against your bench.

4. Move your dumbbells from your thighs out to the starting position of the dumbbell chest press.

After you’ve finished your set, follow the same procedure (reverse order) to safely place your dumbbells back on the floor.

Performing Dumbbell Chest Press
