Hammer Grip Incline DB Bench Press

Press with a neutral grip to emphasize the upper chest and shoulders.

This is a shoulder-friendly version of the incline press. The neutral grip helps you push harder with less joint stress.

Instructions

  1. Sit on an incline bench with a dumbbell in each hand, resting them on your thighs.
  2. Kick the dumbbells into position near your shoulders, palms facing each other.
  3. Press both weights upward until your arms are straight and the dumbbells meet at the top.
  4. Lower them slowly back to the starting position, keeping control through the full range.
