i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Set a decline bench to a comfortable angle. Lie down holding a single dumbbell, lock your feet securely under the foot pads, retract your scapulae against the bench, and brace your core.
  2. 2. Eccentric Phase: Press the dumbbell up initially, then lower it in a controlled manner toward the lower chest or side of the pectoral region, feeling a deep stretch in the muscle fibers.
  3. 3. Concentric Phase: Drive the dumbbell forcefully back up to the starting position over your chest while resisting any rotational forces through your torso.
  4. 4. Breathing and Safety: Inhale as you lower the weight and exhale through the sticking point as you press. Due to the unilateral decline nature, choose an appropriate weight and use a spotter when lifting heavy.
