The squeeze press is a chest exercise performed as an alternative to popular workouts such as the bench press or push up. To perform the squeeze press, follow these steps.
With a dumbbell in each hand, lie back on a bench.
Straighten your arms above your chest with the palms facing each other.
With the dumbbells touching, lower them to your chest before pressing them up again.
