Dumbbell bench press.

Personally, I favor the dumbbell press over barbell, It allowes me to get a better range of motion and contraction, it also causes me less bother on the shoulder and wrist. Im using 60lb here, thats about as heavy as I go, i will ocaasionally go up to 65/70lb but I find my affected side just can't handle the weight, besides I don't want to risk injury.

As a begginer it can be difficult to get in to dumbbell pressing, balancing the weight and moving up in kg's takes time, im my case a very long time. Dont be embarrasses or intimated by the big guys in the gym, just do your own thing, the weight will increase!, be patient and stick with.
