Exercise the right way - the decline dumbbell bench pressWritten by Rick Mitchell
Other articles in this series looked at a number of exercises, mainly from perspective of developing a comprehensive muscle building program. Sometimes we take things for granted, especially when it comes to performing basic exercises that constitute core of most bodybuilders' training regimes.It is useful, therefore, to describe in detail processes involved in actually doing these exercises. This will help beginners to start out using correct techniques before moving on to potentially more dangerous heavy weights. If it also helps more experienced lifters to redress some of little faults that have almost imperceptibly crept in over years, all better. In this article we'll take a close look at decline dumbbell bench press. MUSCLES TARGETED: pectoralis major, anterior deltoids STARTING POSITION Sitting at high end of a decline bench, make sure that ankles and feet are secured under pads. Grasp two dumbbells using an overhand grip. Set dumbbells in an upright position on your knees. Lie on decline bench whilst simultaneously bringing dumbbells to side of your chest on either side. Raise dumbbells to arm's length with palms facing forward. Do not lock out elbows. This starting position sees dumbbells touching each other, directly above chest.
