So yesterday was my first day bench pressing with Dumbbells! Today I am mainly sore in my armpit area (lol?) and a little in my chest! Not sore in my arms at all. Did I not do it correctly?

    Sounds like you're sore in the right places to me. Bench press targets chest muscles.

    It's supposed to target your chest area, not your arms.

    Dumbbell press allows you to go lower on your negative. Which gives you a better muscle stretch.
