Exercise Description

The reverse dumbbell bench press works your chest from a different angle than regular bench press. It hits your upper chest harder and gives you better muscle balance.

How To

1. Set your bench to a 15-30 degree decline and lie down with dumbbells in hand 2. Hold the dumbbells with a reverse grip - palms facing toward your feet 3. Start with arms extended above your chest, dumbbells touching lightly 4. Lower the dumbbells slowly to your chest while keeping your reverse grip 5. Press the dumbbells back up to starting position and repeat the reverse dumbbell bench press movement

Form Tips

• Keep your reverse grip tight throughout the entire reverse dumbbell bench press movement • Lower the dumbbells slowly - don't let them drop to your chest • Keep your core tight and feet planted firmly on the ground • Focus on squeezing your chest muscles at the top of each rep

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight on the reverse dumbbell bench press before mastering the form • Letting the dumbbells bounce off your chest instead of controlled movement • Arching your back too much or lifting your feet off the ground
