How to do the Barbell Reverse Grip Bench Press
- Lie on a flat bench with your feet flat on the floor. Hold a barbell with a reverse grip (palms facing back) and hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Position the barbell directly above your chest with your arms fully extended.
- Slowly lower the barbell towards your chest by bending your elbows. Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.
- Allow the barbell to lightly touch your chest, then push the barbell back up to the starting position by extending your arms fully.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
- Keep your elbows close to your body to ensure proper form and prevent shoulder strain.
- Perform the movement slowly and with control to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.
- Ensure a firm grip on the barbell to maintain control and proper alignment.
