To perform a bench press with dumbbells, lie on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand. Keep your feet flat on the ground and your back pressed against the bench. Lower the dumbbells to chest level, then push them back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
The dumbbell bench press can be more challenging than the barbell bench press because it requires more stabilization and coordination to lift the separate weights.
