Overview

The Dumbbell Bench Press is a staple upper-body strength exercise for your chest. Your chest muscles are the primary movers, and your anterior deltoid and triceps also assist. It serves as an alternative to the barbell bench press and has distinct advantages because you use separate dumbbells.
