This Dumbell Press Will Challenge More Than Your Pecs

Stability Ball Dumbell Press

This multi-purpose move-a version of a dumbell press-works chest, triceps, shoulders, abs, and glutes. Add manual resistance and this move becomes even more dynamic!

Lay on a ball with only your head and upper back supported. Legs bent as though you were lying on a bench (90 degrees) and making sure the body forms a bridge, so butt and lower back are not hanging down.

dumbell press beginning position image Bend your elbows and lower your arms in line with your shoulders, like the start position of a typical dumbbell bench press.

Press your arms up and over your chest, squeezing your pecs the whole time.

For the extra manual resistance have a partner come over and as you slowly raise and lower the dumbbells have them place their hands on yours and add pressure in one or both directions. This added resistance will come in handy if you use resistance bands which don't provide the same degree of eccentric work that a dumbbell would.

If you have never tried this you will be amazed at how much it changes the exercise.
