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.
