I used to have problems getting the weight up when doing dumbbell bench. What I do now is while my upper body is going down, the weights resting on my lower thigh I kick up while extending my arms so my elbows lock. My thighs come maybe almost 110 degrees up.

So when I'm lying down, my thighs have helped lock the weight above me. After, I just lower the dumbbells and crank out the reps, feet pressed firmly on the ground.

Maybe not the best description, but it works.
