Reverse Triceps Bench Press

Using a reverse grip on the bench press shifts emphasis to the triceps while still engaging the chest and shoulders.

Instructions

1. Lie back on a flat bench and grip the barbell with an underhand (palms-up) grip, shoulder-width apart.
2. Unrack the bar and hold it directly above your chest with arms fully extended.
3. Lower the bar slowly toward your mid-chest, keeping your elbows tucked in close to your sides.
4. Pause briefly, then press the bar back up using your triceps.
5. Lock out at the top and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
