Event 3: Dumbell Bench Press (most continuous reps)
Exercise Instructions: The dumbbell bench press is a great exercise for increasing chest, shoulder and tricep size. Setup for the exercise by sitting a set of dumbbells at the end of a flat bench. Pick up the dumbbells off the floor using a neutral grip (palms facing in), position the ends of the dumbbells on your thighs, and sit down on the bench. To get in position you need to rock back pushing the dumbbells back with your thighs and only slightly bending at the elbows. Now you should be in position to start the set, laying back on the bench holding them dumbbells straight up above your chest. This is the starting position for the movement. Slowly lower the dumbbells down as far as comfortable possible (the handles should be about level with your chest). Pause, the contract the chest and push the dumbbells back up. Do not lock your elbows out, then repeat for desired reps. Once you have finished the set, DO NOT DROP THE DUMBBELLS! Twist the dumbbells around to neutral (palms facing each other), bring your knees up so the ends of the dumbbells are touching your thighs, then use the weight of the dumbbells to rock back to a seated position. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb_hU0y1Jlw Tips: The dumbbell press is a great mass builder! Make sure you use the longest range of motion possible, this ensures the muscle is getting a good stretch and contraction. Do not touch the dumbbells together at the top of the movement, keep them 2-3 inches apart. Don't drop the dumbbells at the end of the set, you can safely use the weight of the dumbbells to rock up to a seated position as explained above.

Event 5: Seated Dumbell Press (most continuous reps)
Exercise Instructions: The seated dumbbell press is one of the most popular mass builders for the shoulders! Setup for the exercise by getting an adjustable angle bench and setting the back to 90 degrees. Grasp a pair of dumbbells and sit down on the bench with the ends of the dumbbells on your thighs. Raise the dumbbells above your head and twist so that your palms are facing forward. Your back should be flat against the back rest and your feet firmly planted on the floor for stability. This is the starting position for the exercise. Keeping your eyes facing forwards, slowly lower the dumbbells to the sides of your shoulders. Once they are around shoulder height, contract the shoulder muscles and raise the dumbbells back to the starting position. Do not pause at the top of the movement, immediately begin lowering the dumbbells back down for the next rep. Repeat for desired reps. Tips: The seated dumbbell press is a solid mass building compound movement that can add serious mass when using heavy weights WITH correct form. Many lifters let the form go and add weight too quickly. This is likely to result in an injury and could hinder your shoulder gains. Always use the longest range of motion possible and control the dumbbells throughout the set.
