Bench Press - Dumbbells
Set the bench up so that it is flat. Lie down on the bench on your back and hold the dumbbells in line with your lower chest.
Keeping your tummy tight so that you do not arch your lower back (if the bench is too high forcing your back to arch and your feet do not rest comfortably on the ground then place your feet on the bench - if you are unsure; ask an instructor).
Hold the dumbbells so that your palms are facing towards your feet and the weights are together above your middle chest. Slowly lower your arms down and out, letting your elbows bend and staying in line with your lower chest. Stop when your elbows reach 90 degrees. Push back up again bringing the weights back to the start position making sure not to lock your elbows out.
