	Variation: Alternating

Key points

• Check alignment and positioning, make sure feet are flat on the floor.
• Attain and maintain the drawing-in maneuver to ensure proper spinal alignment.
• Elbows should be close to the body (sagittal plane) in the starting position.
• Progression can be accomplished by alternating the pushing of one dumbbell at a time.

*This exercise focuses on the entire group of muscles used in pushing movements rather than specifically focusing on the chest muscles only. Although using complex exercises like this will develop the primary muscle, all of the muscles involved will be used during the exercise.
