This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing considerations when you are doing the dumbbell chest press for your pecs. This is one of the most common exercises that can be seen in almost any gym. However, there are some important considerations you need to take to make sure it is done safely and effectively.

The dumbbell chest press is an exercise that almost everyone has done or seen done at some point. While it seems like a very straightforward exercise, there are some key components that need to be kept in mind to ensure that your spine, shoulders, and low back all remain safe while working your chest muscles.

Keeping tabs on what your shoulder blades are up to while you do the dumbbell chest press is a huge part of making sure you stay safe with this exercise. Additionally, being specific with how your shoulders are positioned can help improve your results as far as building and strengthening your chest muscles. We show you exactly what you need to know in this week’s video.

Check out all of the details in this week’s episode of Trainer Tip Tuesday, and be sure to tune back in next week as we discuss more considerations when doing dumbbell chest press for your pecs.
