Alternating Dumbbell Bench Press for Women

Alternating Dumbbell Bench Press

  1. Grab a pair of dumbbells and lie on your back on a flat bench, holding the dumbbells over your chest so that they're nearly touching. Your palms should be facing out, but turned slightly inward. Before you begin, pull your shoulder blades down and together, and hold them as tight as you can throughout the entire exercise. 
  2. Without changing the angle of your hands, lift the dumbbells one at a time, in an alternating fashion. As you lower one dumbbell, press the other up.
