A close-grip dumbbell press where the dumbbells are pressed firmly together throughout the movement, creating constant inner-pec tension that standard presses can't replicate.
Form tips
Press the dumbbells hard against each other before you even begin — maintain that lateral pressure through every inch of the rep.
Lower to mid-chest with elbows pointing slightly down rather than flared wide.
Pause briefly at the bottom to eliminate stretch-reflex and maximise the contraction stimulus.
