How to do it
- Set an adjustable bench to a high incline and sit with a dumbbell in each hand.
- Lie back with feet planted and press the dumbbells to lockout with palms facing in.
- Keep the shoulder blades against the pad and the ribs down.
- Lower the weights under control until the handles sit about level with the chest.
- Press back to extension without letting the dumbbells bang together at the top.
- Keep the elbows slightly tucked and repeat for the set.
Common mistakes
- Locking the elbows hard at the top and dumping tension out of the chest.
- Letting the dumbbells collide overhead, which unloads the shoulders.
- Flaring the elbows wide so the press becomes a shoulder-dominant fly.
- Arching the lower back off the pad instead of bracing the trunk.
