Stevo in Push, dumbbell, shoulder stability
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.
