Using dumbbells for chest

[onKWi]

my gym gets pretty packed when I go work out in the afternoon and usually the bench presses are all used up and I don't have much options. I was thinking of trying to use dumbbells for the time being until I can change the time my workout. What do you think about this strategy and how much weight should I do if I can bench about 220 lb

dumbbells are good for chest, you need to really concentrate by keeping your arms stable and doing slow pushing with chest

it is what it is. if the place is packed then you should improvise

You absolutely can use dumbbell for your chest, start small weight, but more reps and go up from there

I actually prefer using dumbbells but variety is good.

I would go at a time when less people are in!

Yes they are good but be careful...

Just test it. No way for us to tell
