Tate Press Instructions
- Lie down on a flat bench holding two dumbbells above your chest, arms fully extended. This is the starting position.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells by bending at your elbows. The weights should come down beside your chest and your elbows should be pointed outward.
- Stop when the dumbbells are just above your chest and your elbows are fully bent.
- Extend your elbows to press the dumbbells back up to the starting position. This is one rep.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Tate Press Tips
- Focus on moving the weight with your triceps, maintaining complete control of the dumbbells as you slowly raise them back to the starting position.
- In the beginning, use a lighter weight and focus on form. This can be a dangerous exercise if performed incorrectly.

This is exclusively a tricep exercise lol
Correct. I will reach out to my editors to see if we can get this moved over.
How is this not a triceps exercise...when are the traps involved ?
