Dumbbell Seated Close Grip Press
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Keep your feet flat on the floor and your back pressed firmly against the bench for stability.
Slowly push the dumbbells upwards until your arms are fully extended, but not locked, while keeping the weights close together.
Pause at the top for a moment, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain control and proper form throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Proper Grip: Hold the dumbbell vertically with both hands, palms facing each other, and fingers wrapped around the top end of the weight. A common mistake is to hold the dumbbell horizontally, which can lead to an unstable grip and potential injury. Controlled Movement: Lower the dumbbell slowly towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body. Then push the weight back up until your arms are fully extended but not locked. Avoid rushing the movement or using momentum to lift the weight, as this can lead to muscle strain and doesn't effectively engage the target muscles. Breathing Technique: Breathe in as you lower the dumbbell and breathe out as you push it
