Jul 26, 2010 9:13 AM: A solid chest-building exercise and a great alternative to the barbell bench press for those with shoulder issues. Downgraded slightly only because much energy must be expended just getting the dumbbells into position.

Mar 8, 2010 4:58 AM: According to latest EMG research this exercise develops chest (pectorals) much better than barbell bench press. Especially when focusing on pressing by chest, not shoulders or triceps.
I love it!
And you don't need spotter in most cases...

Feb 14, 2010 12:18 AM: Easily, the best chest-building lift on the market. I had some serious issues with me right rotator-cuff and it has alleviated the pain.

Dec 4, 2009 11:43 AM: Rotate these in every other week with barbell flat and you will develop in both areas. They are great for a variation in ROM.
