Do I need 2 dumbbells?

So I ordered the Bowflex 552’s and just got them in.
Like many I am trying to have workout at home gear and to date I have been using my peloton and push-ups and sit-ups for strength.
My question is, since I have no bench to do presses etc, would one dumbbell suffice for non bench workouts? Sell one or keep both?

That said, if it was me, I would keep both just because I could do heavier loads

Uh. You don’t need a bench to do presses. Floor presses are perfectly fine and honestly safer for your shoulders. Might be harder to do heavier loads, but I’ve taken 60-70s to the floor.

Keep them both so you can do one of the best full body movements; the dumbbell thruster.

I did DB presses on the floor until my bench came in.
