One armed Dumbbell Bench press then the other?

[betsie2k]

Can you do this?
Or is it a stupid way to work out.

I wouldnt do it. Unilateral work is good but with something like that you couldnt use a good ammount of weight. Thats just my opinion.

1 arm db bench will be beneficial due to recruiting more muscle fibers and hitting the stabilizers harder than bilateral benching. Also, if benching by yourself, you can use the other hand to go beyond failure if you're into that sort of thing.

As Arnold would say "3 more reps no matta' what."

ive tried it. Its also good for core stability, brace you're core while you do them, you will feel it

It's even more challenging for DB incline bench presses. You definitely have to use a lot less weight, but it is pretty tough.
