Dumbbell Rotational Grip Bench Press
The dumbbell bench press that starts with the palms facing each other and turns them to face the feet on the way up.
How to do it
Setup
Flat bench, bells at the chest, palms facing each other.
Steps
- Press up, turning the palms toward the feet as the arms straighten.
- Finish with the bells end to end over the chest.
- Turn the palms back in as you lower.
Common mistakes
Turning the wrists before the press: the rotation rides the press. Elbows flaring as the palms turn: keep them under the bells. Clanging the bells at the top: stop just apart.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale on the press.
