How To Perform the Dumbbell Bench Pull

  1. Set up an adjustable bench to a flat position and place a set of dumbbells on the floor beneath the bench.
  2. Lie face down on the bench with your chest and stomach supported, allowing your arms to hang down naturally.
  3. Grip a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
  4. Engage your core and keep your back straight, maintaining a neutral spine position.
  5. Pull the dumbbells towards your body, bending your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
  6. Pause briefly at the top, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
  8. Exhale as you pull the dumbbells up and inhale as you lower them back down.
