To initiate the setup, adjust the incline of the bench to around 30-45 degrees, and place the dumbbells in front. A steeper incline elicits more upper chest and shoulder activation, while a flatter incline elicits more overall chest activation with less emphasis on your shoulders. Nonetheless, both utilize the exact same technique, so just choose whichever is best for you. • Once you’ve done that, grab the dumbbells firmly in the palms of your hands with your thumbs wrapped around. Then, lift them comfortably onto your knees and sit back onto the bench, placing your glutes directly in contact with the crease. From here, swing your body forward and use momentum to hoist the dumbbells up as you lie back onto the bench. Keep the weight close to your body and drive both dumbbells up and back at the same time. Then, retract your shoulder blades and slightly arch your back to puff out your chest. As you do this, adjust your feet into a comfortable position before planting them firmly into the ground. Keep your elbows angled forward around 45 degrees, and hold the end of the dumbbells just in front of your shoulders. • The starting position should look something like this where your chest is up, your elbows are tucked in, your head, glutes, and upper back are in contact with the bench, your forearms are vertical, and your eyes are pointed upwards. From the front, the dumbbells should be straight, but from the side, they should be tilted in the same direction as your elbows. • From here, begin the ascent by pressing the dumbbells straight up while keeping your shoulder blades down and your elbows angled forward. Keep your forearms vertical and the weight directly over your wrists, and squeeze your pecs by bringing your biceps closer together. Avoid letting the dumbbells touch, and fully extend your arms at the top without locking your elbows, so that your arms are vertical and the weight is directly above. • From here, begin the descent by controlling the dumbbells down and stretching apart your pecs. Again, keep your elbows tucked in and your wrists and forearms neutral, and lower the weight as far down as you comfortably can. For some people, this may be a few inches above your chest where your forearms and biceps are perpendicular, but don’t be afraid to go further until the dumbbells are in line with your chest, just as long as you don’t feel any pain or discomfort in your shoulders. Keep your back tight and your glutes on the bench, and get back into the starting position for the next rep. • To incorporate this into your routine, choose a moderately heavy weight for 3-4 sets of anywhere from 8-15 reps. • Follow me on social media: • INSTAGRAM: / maxeuceda7 • TWITTER: / maxeuceda7 • TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@maxeuceda7?la... • Music: • Biscuit (Prod. by Lukrembo) • • (no copyright music) lofi type beat “... • About Me: I'm a college student with a passion for fitness hoping to make it my career.
