Dumbbell Hex Press
The squeeze press with hex dumbbells pressed flat together face to face, which makes the squeeze easier to hold.
How to do it
Setup
Hex dumbbells pressed flat face to face over the chest.
Steps
- Lower the joined pair to the chest.
- Keep the faces flush the whole way.
- Press to lockout without a gap appearing.
Common mistakes
Faces separating: flush is the form check; a gap means the squeeze died. Round bells substituted: hex faces exist for this; rounds slip. Elbows flaring: tucked, the pair rides the center line.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
