Goal: Develop strength in chest and arms.While the Dumbbell Bench Press works chest muscles like a traditional bench press, it provides an additional benefit for quarterbacks, since it strengthens each arm individually. Because Peyton Manning is dominant with his right arm, he uses the Dumbbell Bench Press to keep his left arm developing at the same rate. Steps: Pick up dumbbells and place them on knees Sit back and bring dumbbells right above armpits Press up, bringing dumbbells together without clanking them Bring weights down slowly with proper technique Lower dumbbells to pecs, then press back up Repetition: Three sets of eight to ten reps each. Continue until chest is sore. Common Mistakes: Bringing dumbbells down or pushing them up too fast, allowing the weights' momentum to cause poor form.
