i Instructions
- 1. Setup: Set a decline bench to a 15-30 degree angle. Lie back holding a single dumbbell, securing your feet firmly. Retract your scapulae and keep your back flat against the pad.
- 2. Eccentric Phase: Lower the dumbbell toward your lower chest in a controlled 6-second descent, maintaining core stability and resisting rotational forces.
- 3. Transition Point: Pause briefly at the bottom stretch position without bouncing the weight.
- 4. Concentric Phase: Drive the dumbbell dynamically back up to arm extension, avoiding locking out the elbow completely.
- 5. Breathing and Safety: Inhale before lowering the weight and exhale during the press. Due to the unilateral setup, choose a weight that allows strict balance control.
