Women's dumbbell bench press
Posted by Danny ODell on Thu, 2007-10-25 19:21
The dumbbell bench press is a fine alternative to the barbell version of the exercise. It helps develop coordination while at the same time allowing the muscles to take a break from the heavy lifting normally associated with the barbell bench press.

Women's dumbbell bench press
If I may point out that the D/B bench press done by the woman in the video has a lot to be desired. As the elbows are too close to the sides whendoing the exercise, so the effect on the pectoral muscles was very minimal.
In Danny Odell's comment it is suggesting that the dumbell exercise is usually light, of course this is not the case at all. I myself would prefere to do heavy dumbell press than with the barbell as it usally evens up the strength of both arms and the one arm dumbell also strenghtens up the core.
