Dumbbell Bench Press
Online Personal Trainer - A version of the ever-popular bench press that engages all of the stabilizer muscles around the shoulders due to the free motion of the dumbbells. This makes it a favorite chest exercise of many Dallas personal trainers.
Grab two dumbbells and lay flat on a bench with the dumbbells at your armpits. Press them straight up over your chest, keeping the lats tight (armpit muscles) and contracting your chest muscles as tightly as possible. Focus on not allowing your shoulders to shrug up or move forward (see Barbell Bench Press). Allow your chest muscles to get a slight stretch (with the muscles still flexed) at the bottom and a very tight contraction at the top.
