How to do dumbbell twisting bench press

Extend your arms straight up over your chest, keeping a slight bend in your elbows.
Lower the dumbbells down towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body.
As you lower the dumbbells, twist your wrists so that your palms face towards you at the bottom of the movement.
Pause for a moment at the bottom, then reverse the movement by pressing the dumbbells back up to the starting position.
As you press the dumbbells up, twist your wrists back to the starting position with palms facing away from you.
