Dumbbell Squeeze Press
Press two dumbbells held hard against each other; the squeeze keeps the chest under tension for the whole set.
How to do it
Setup
On the bench, two bells pressed HARD against each other over the chest.
Steps
- Lower the pair to the chest without the squeeze fading.
- Press up while crushing the bells together.
- Lockout with the squeeze still alive.
Common mistakes
Squeeze dying mid-rep: the inward press IS the chest work; refresh it. Bells separating at the top: together, always. Going heavy: squeeze quality beats load here.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
