Hi! My name is Corey Beasley, owner of DNA Fitness. I am going to run you through a few movements now, more pressing movements, what is called a floor press or chest press. No equipment is needed other than the dumbbells again. It is very simple, but basically you are going strengthen your chest from parts of your shoulders, back side of your of your triceps. So what you are going to start out doing, have your dumbbells again utilizing weight that you can control and progressing from there. You are just basically going to start on your back, you can have your feet straight, knees bent, basically elbows down and you are going to pressing those weights up towards the ceiling, up and together. You are going to hold them here. You can also rotate those dumbbells, bring it up together and back down. Elbows stopping at the floor, just slow controlled movements. If you look at it from the side, you are right here, exhaling on the way up and inhaling on the way back down. You want to turn them, a couple of variations. One variation you can do here is you can also move these one at a time alternating here, coming up. Another variation, start here, only one side and pressing up. So switch sides again, great way to train and counter any imbalances that you might have from right to left between your arms. So three different levels of chest presses there. Keep your body guessing. Strengthen the chest, shoulders and arms and points you in the right direction.
I think his demonstrations are good.
Corey has a friendly approach and his instructions are easy to follow.
