Alternating DB Bench Press

The alternating dumbbell bench press is a superior unilateral chest exercise that builds genuine single-arm pressing strength while developing exceptional shoulder stability and rotational core control. This shoulder-friendly pressing variation addresses muscle imbalances and enhances rib cage mobility, making it particularly valuable for athletes and lifters seeking functional upper body strength beyond traditional bilateral bench pressing movements. Learn proper hand positioning, optimal programming strategies, and why this alternating dumbbell technique delivers unique training benefits that standard chest exercises cannot match.
