#Info – Dumbbell Bench Press
The dumbbell bench press targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps, offering a greater range of motion than the barbell variant. Avoid arching your back excessively to maintain spinal safety; keep your feet flat and core engaged. Control the weights to ensure stability, preventing shoulder strain. Beginners can start with lighter weights, focusing on form, while advanced users can increase weight or reps for added challenge. Incorporate a spotter when lifting heavier to ensure safety. This exercise can be adjusted for incline or decline angles to target different areas of the chest, enhancing muscle development.
