Dumbbell Crush Press

Sit on a bench with your dumbbells resting on your thighs. Kick up with 1 leg at a time to get the dumbbells loaded near your chest before lowering yourself under control and planting the feet on the ground. Perform a chest press where the dumbbells are being squeezed into each other the entire time, keeping constant tension. Feel free to rest the weights on your chest for a split second before extending the elbows to complete a repetition. When you are done you can lift your legs into the air and whip them down as you do a situp in order to sit upright with the weights on the hips before lowering them to the ground. This is an option if you don’t want to drop the weights to the left and right of you potentially hurting your shoulders or damaging the equipment or possibly injuring the people next to you.
