Technique
- Lie on a flat bench and press two dumbbells over your chest, palms facing your head.
- Pull your shoulder blades together and keep your elbows tucked.
- Lower the dumbbells to the lower chest, elbows close to your body.
- Press back up until your arms are straight.
Cues
- Keep the wrists straight with the handle low in the palm.
- Start light: the grip feels unstable at first.
Common mistakes
- Letting the elbows flare out.
- Bending the wrists back.
