Exercise:

Decline Dumbbell Bench Press

Target Muscle:

Chest

Secondary Muscles:

Shoulders/Triceps

Equipment Needed:

Decline Bench, Dumbbells

Proper Execution:

Hook your legs under the end of the decline bench and have a spotter hand you the dumbbells to place on your thighs. Slowly lie back and move the dumbbells into the starting position even with your chest. Drive the weights up, pause briefly, and lower them back down. When your set is complete you won't have much choice but to gently drop the weights on the ground or get a spotter to grab them from you.

Tips:

Do not lock your elbows out at the top of the movement as this will place undo stress on your choice. Also remember not to angle the bench any steeper than 30 degrees.
