Exercise Description

The reverse grip seated french press builds tricep strength while reducing wrist strain. It hits your triceps from a different angle than regular french presses.

How To

1. Sit on a bench with back support and hold a barbell with an underhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart 2. Start with the barbell at chest level, arms extended but not locked out completely 3. Lower the barbell slowly behind your head by bending only at the elbows during this reverse grip seated french press movement 4. Keep your upper arms still and perpendicular to the floor throughout the entire range of motion 5. Press the barbell back up to starting position by extending your elbows, focusing on squeezing your triceps

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight and back pressed against the bench throughout the reverse grip seated french press • Move only your forearms - your upper arms should stay completely still • Use the underhand grip to reduce wrist strain compared to regular french presses • Control the weight on both the way down and up - no bouncing at the bottom

Common Mistakes

• Flaring elbows out wide instead of keeping them close to your head during the reverse grip seated french press • Using your shoulders to help lift the weight instead of isolating your triceps completely • Going too heavy too fast with this reverse grip seated french press variation before mastering the form
