FitCi
Step-by-step
- Lie on the bench and grip the bar at shoulder width with palms facing you (reverse grip)
- Unrack the bar with a spotter's help
- Lower the bar to your lower chest keeping your elbows close to your torso
- Press the bar up with your triceps to lockout
- Focus on keeping your wrists straight throughout the set
Coaching tip
The reverse grip naturally tucks the elbows and shifts the load to the triceps; always use a spotter.
Caution
Skip this move or ask a professional first if you have pain or an injury in: wrist, shoulder. FitCi filters it out of your program automatically based on the injuries in your profile.
