Single-Arm Dumbbell Bench Press: how to do it and form tips

A unilateral bench press that demands core stability while training one side at a time. Fixes asymmetries the bilateral version hides.

Form tips

1. Lie flat with one dumbbell, free hand braced on the bench or your hip.
2. Brace your core hard — the unilateral load wants to twist your torso.
3. Use weight you'd normally curl, not press. Form first.
