⚠️ Most common mistake: Letting the elbows flare straight out, which strains the front shoulders and shifts work off the chest. Setting the bench too steep, which turns the press into a shoulder press and loses the upper-chest focus. Bouncing the dumbbells at the bottom or stopping short, missing the productive stretch on the chest. Pressing the dumbbells out wide rather than straight up, which destabilizes the lift and shortens the press.

💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Chest. The Shoulders, Triceps assist.
