Regular chest press: Most people perform this version of a chest press. To do this, you need to lie down on a flat bench with dumbbells in both your hands. After this, you need to bring the dumbbells down to your chest level and slowly lift the dumbbells up in the air. Bring them back down to your chest level.

Incline dumbbell chest press: Perform it the way you do a normal chest press. The only difference is that the bench is inclined at a 45-degree angle.
4/6
Decline dumbbell chest press: In this bench press variation, the bench press is declined at a 45 degree angle. Other than that, the exercise remains the same.
5/6
Neutral grip chest press: During a chest press, you hold the dumbbells horizontally. However, in a neutral grip chest press, you are supposed to hold the dumbbells vertically with both your palms facing each other. The rest of the exercise remains the same.
6/6
Single arm chest press: You might not see many people do this variation. However, if one side of your upper body is weaker than the other, you can do a single-arm dumbbell chest press. It can also be done if you've injured one of your arms. It's performed the same way as a normal chest press, the only difference being that you can use only one arm.
