Exercise Description

The reverse grip bench press targets your upper chest and triceps more than regular bench press. It helps build a fuller chest and stronger triceps.

How To

1. Lie on the bench and grip the barbell with palms facing you, hands shoulder-width apart 2. Unrack the bar and hold it over your chest with arms extended 3. Lower the reverse grip bench press bar slowly to your lower chest, keeping elbows close to your body 4. Press the bar back up in a straight line, focusing on squeezing your chest 5. Complete your reps and carefully rack the reverse grip bench press bar

Form Tips

• Keep your wrists straight during the reverse grip bench press to prevent injury • Pull your shoulder blades back and down for a stable base • Lower the bar to your lower chest, not your upper chest like regular bench press • Use a full grip - never let the bar rest on your palms during reverse grip bench press

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight on reverse grip bench press before mastering the movement • Letting wrists bend backward which can cause pain and injury • Lowering the bar too high on the chest instead of the lower chest area during reverse grip bench press
