Dumbbell Bench Press

The Bench is most men's favorite lift, but I personally hate it. The form is tricky and barbells can kill you. Therefore, I recommend the Dumbbell alternative. Safer because you can always drop the weights; more difficult because you have stabilize them in 3 dimensions with your shoulders.

Coach Stevo's Top Tips

  • Start with the weight on your knees and roll back into the bottom position.
  • Pull your shoulder blades together the entire time.
  • Don't lower the weight, pull it down.
