EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:

  • SETUP: Lie on a flat bench with a dumbell in each hand. Take a neutral-grip for this one (palms face in). Before you perform a rep, be sure to pin your shoulder blades back and puff your chest to maintain great posture.
  • REP: Brace your midsection by squeezing your glutes and driving your feet into the ground, then press the dumbbells from the center of your chest until your arms are extended above your chest. Lower under control and DO NOT interlock your fingers (makes it easier).
  • TIP: This exercise gives us the motion of a chest press with the adduction of a flye. Push the dumbbells together and enjoy the burn!
