Dumbbell Single-Arm Alternate Decline Bench Press
The decline dumbbell press one arm at a time, the other bell waiting at the chest.
How to do it
Setup
Decline bench, legs hooked, both bells at the lower chest.
Steps
- Press one bell up to lockout over the lower chest.
- Lower it back beside the other one.
- Press the other arm; keep alternating.
Common mistakes
Twisting toward the working arm: shoulders stay flat. The waiting bell drifting off the chest: hold it still. Pressing toward the face: on a decline the bells finish over the LOWER chest.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
