What is the Dumbbell Push Up?

The dumbbell push-ups are a versatile strength training exercise primarily targeting the chest muscles, shoulders, and triceps. This exercise increases the range of motion compared to standard push-ups, providing a greater stretch and better muscle activation. Additionally, using dumbbells can relieve pressure on the wrists.

How to properly perform the Dumbbell Push Up

  1. Start in a push-up position with your hands gripping a pair of dumbbells, shoulder-width apart.
  2. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, engaging your core and glutes.
  3. Bend your elbows and lower your chest towards the ground, maintaining proper form and control.
  4. Push through your hands to extend your arms and return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions, focusing on maintaining good form and engaging your chest, shoulders, and triceps.
