Dumbbell Reverse-Grip Squeeze Bench Press
The squeeze press with an underhand grip: both dumbbells pressed together over the chest, palms toward the face, the squeeze held all the way.
How to do it
Setup
Lying on a flat bench, dumbbells held underhand and pressed together over the lower chest, elbows tucked.
Steps
- Squeeze the bells together as hard as you can.
- Press them up to straight arms without letting them part.
- Lower them to the chest, still squeezing.
Common mistakes
Bells drifting apart at the top: the squeeze never lets go. Wrists bending back under the underhand grip: keep them straight. Bells landing high on the chest: lower them to the bottom of the breastbone.
Breathing
Inhale lowering, exhale pressing.
