How do you dumbell bench press?

[Swerdz]

I have seen it done 2 ways, elbows way out like so: http://www.bodybuilding.com/exercise...ll-bench-press

BUT I have also seen it with elbows tucked in, basically the fists touching the sides of each boob.

HOW U DO IT SIRS?!

I flare out the elbows about halfway.

do you keep your elbows slightly bent at the top?

your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor. If its angled inward, the triceps would be involved. As for the elbows, i keep them tucked so that weight is being vectored onto my chest.

IMO.... bring your elbows down til you feel the stretch (which opens up your chest) then bring the dumb bells straight up and across your chest til they meet in the center of your torso arms extended...hold then bring back down. repeat 8-10 reps

Just like a benchpress. Hold the dumbbells like youre holding a bar, and press them.

the inside of the dumbbells normally hit the outer side of my chest
