Dumbbell Reverse Bench Press
The flat dumbbell press with the palms turned toward the face; the grip keeps the elbows tucked.
How to do it
Setup
Flat bench, bells at the lower chest, palms facing the face.
Steps
- Press both bells up, palms still facing you.
- Stop with the arms straight over the lower chest.
- Bring the bells down beside the lower ribs, elbows tucked.
Common mistakes
Grip drifting back to palms forward: the reverse grip is the point. Bells traveling toward the face: they rise over the LOWER chest. Knuckles tipping back toward the floor: straighten the wrists over the forearms.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale on the press.
