Decline Dumbbell Bench Press

Bench declined about 15-30 degrees, legs secured; press the dumbbells up over the lower chest and lower them with control.

How to do it

Setup

Bench declined 15–30°, legs secured, bells over the lower chest.

Steps

Lower the bells to the sides of the lower chest.
Keep the elbows about 45°.
Press up to lockout over the chest.

Common mistakes

Bells drifting toward the face: on a decline they land LOW on the chest. Rushing the negative head-down: extra control here. Skipping the leg lock: secure them first, always.

Breathing

Inhale down, exhale on the press.
