Slowly lay back on the bench, bringing the dumbbells to the sides of your chest with your elbows at a 90-degree angle.
Push the dumbbells up using your chest muscles. Your arms should be fully extended above you, but don't lock your elbows.
Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position at the sides of your chest, keeping control of the weights at all times.
Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain the correct form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Correct Grip**: Hold the dumbbells with your palms facing away from you, just outside of shoulder width. Avoid gripping the dumbbells too tightly or too loosely as this can cause unnecessary strain or lead to dropping the weights. **Controlled Movement**: Lower the dumbbells slowly and in a controlled manner until they are level with your chest, then push them back up to the starting position. Avoid dropping the weights quickly or bouncing them off your chest, as this can lead to injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. **Keep Elbows at 90 Degrees**: When lowering the dumbbells, your elbows should be at a 90-degree angle
