Lay back on the bench, bringing the dumbbell to the side of your chest with a wide grip, keeping the palm of your hand facing towards your feet.
Push the dumbbell upwards using your chest muscles until your arm is fully extended, while ensuring your other hand is either resting on your abdomen or holding onto the bench for stability.
Slowly lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position, ensuring you maintain control throughout the movement.
Repeat the exercise for your desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other arm and perform the same number of repetitions.

A common mistake is to let your body tilt to one side. To avoid this, engage your core and keep your hips and shoulders square on the bench. Full Range of Motion: Make sure to
