Dumbbell One-Arm Decline Chest Press
The decline dumbbell press with a single bell; the free side gives the trunk a twist to resist while the chest presses.
How to do it
Setup
Decline bench, legs hooked under the pads, one dumbbell at the side of the lower chest.
Steps
- Press the bell up over the lower chest until the arm is straight.
- Keep both shoulders pinned to the bench.
- Lower slowly to the side of the chest; switch arms after the set.
Common mistakes
Working shoulder lifting off the bench: pin both blades down. Bell drifting toward the face: on a decline it stays over the lower chest. Getting on and off the bench with the bell held high: start and finish with it close to the chest.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
