Chest press dumbbell is a chest exercise done while lying on the bench with weights up. When you are doing chest press dumbbells, your arms should be extended straight above your chest with palms facing the upper way. Then slowly lower the weights to chest-level. Pause for a few seconds and then push the weight up again with your chest muscles, making sure you are breathing in during the process. Do this about 10 times to get a better result.
You can also try an incline chest press dumbbell where the bench is inclined at 45 degree angle. This will make it easier for you to do chest press dumbbells.
1. Do chest press with the right weights
Doing chest presses with the wrong weight will not help your chest muscles grow and it might end up hurting you instead of strengthening your chest muscles. So make sure that when doing chest presses, you are using bars or weighted plates which are heavy enough for you.

When you are doing chest presses, check if the bench is sturdy enough so that it will not break while you are doing chest press dumbbells. Also check if it can take your weight or not because if it can’t, the result might be catastrophic!

5. Use chest press machine
