Dumbbell Chest Press on Stability Ball | Anatomical Analysis

The Dumbbell Chest Press on Stability Ball has two main aims, the first one is active strengthening of the chest muscles and the second is a passive strengthening of the core muscles and buttocks.
1. Sit on a stability ball, place the dumbbells on the thighs.
2. Enter a supine position with the upper back and head on the ball, make sure your buttocks in the air.
3. Push the dumbbells upward and then lower them to the sides of the chest.
Note: Because of the unstable base, we do not recommend working with heavyweights. It is preferable to work with heavyweights on a stable surface such as a bench.
The core muscles and gluteus maximum are statically active when holding the pelvis in the air.
The pectoralis major horizontally adducts the humerus.
The anterior deltoid assists in shoulder horizontal adduction.
The triceps brachii extends the elbow.

Ok, interesting comments. All I'll add is I didn't get substantial gains in my chest and 1 rep max bench press until I started doing this. The inherent instability of the Swiss ball dumb bell press fired up and worked all the ancillary muscles vital for gains on chest and I sww rapid explosive gains/growth. Do em, don't do em - worked for me.

its only dangerous if you use heavy weight

[@samc2450]

@@anontraining5106 if you want to get a big chest, you lift heavy weights. Doing this is a waste of time

[@tostitosfritos1748]

@@samc2450 I agree. A regular bench press is actively engaging the core as well 🤦‍♂️

Actually saw a guy who broke is arm when the ball burst , but he was pressing like 100lbs in a arm , he did single arm presses
