Reverse Grip Dumbbell Press

Reverse Grip Dumbbell Press Instructions

• Set up the same way you would for a standard DB bench.
• Focus on pinching your shoulder blades (scapulas) together as you lie back on the bench. 
• This creates a stable shoulder position to press from.
• Lay back on a flat bench and raise the dumbbells above your chest.
• Twist the dumbbells around so that your palms are facing you (supinated) for the starting stance.
• Using a slow, controlled movement, lower the dumbbells until the handles are just above chest level. Feel your chest and triceps loading for the press up. 
• Pause, then raise the weight back up to the beginning position.

*Tips*

• This is an accessory movement so aim for reps and quality technique versus breaking PR's.
• Performing this exercise poorly consistently over time can wreak havoc on your elbows.
