CHEST

Dumbbell Decline Bench Press

IntermediateDumbbell

A decline press with dumbbells that works the chest, shoulders, and triceps while the downward angle shifts extra emphasis to the lower chest. Dumbbells demand more stabilization than a barbell and keep each arm honest, so you build both strength and control through a full pressing range.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie back on a decline bench, squeeze your shoulder blades together, and plant your feet firmly.

  2. 2

    Keep your head, shoulders, and hips in contact with the bench at all times.

  3. 3

    Hold a dumbbell just outside each shoulder, palms facing forward.

  4. 4

    Bracing your core, press the dumbbells straight up until your arms are extended, keeping your elbows about 45 degrees from your torso.

  5. 5

    Once your arms are fully extended over your shoulders, lower back to the start.

  6. 6

    Keep the weights moderate since dumbbells are less stable than a barbell, prioritizing control.
