Incline bench presses, decline bench presses, and different forms of dumbbell presses were all added to my routine.
Flat bench dumbbell press This exercise is an excellent way to develop the Pecs and is a variation of the barbell press; you can swap between the standard bench press and bench presses using dumbbells.
As an example, doing 3 sets of 15 reps of squats, the same with leg curls and leg extensions, add to this walking lunges, standing or seated calf raises, all while using dumbbells (not overly heavy) and including some bench presses should see you building strength fairly quickly.
