How to perform?
The Flat Dumbbell Press is a chest exercise that involves pressing two dumbbells up and down while lying flat on a bench. It targets the chest muscles, as well as the triceps and front deltoids, making it a great exercise for building overall upper body strength. This exercise can be done with either a pair of dumbbells or a barbell, but the use of dumbbells allows for a greater range of motion and can help target the chest muscles more effectively. To perform this exercise, lie flat on a weight bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Press the dumbbells up above your chest, then lower them back down to the starting position. Repeat for several repetitions.
