#Reverse Bench

REVERSE GRIP BENCH PRESS👇🏻 Not another “gimmick" exercise. These were first popularised by the Barbarian Brothers in the 80s, and powerlifter Anthony Clark set a world record bench of 800lbs with a reverse grip. I haven’t done these in about a year, but @briancage took the wheel on this workout and he’s been doing them lately so I jumped in. Biomechanically speaking, these will often feel more comfortable on the shoulders as it creates a more externally rotated shoulder position. It also allows for easier access to shoulder extension, which is possibly why many people find it better for chest activation. Research also showed 30% more upper chest activation (PMID: 16095407) - though I don’t really believe in basing your entire training decisions around 1 study. It’s also worth noting that more activation does NOT mean more stimulation or mechanical tension, and there’s an error margin to be mindful of in research as well. I personally get a TON more out of my chest on these. I used them as part of my rehab process after my pec tear and they were an important step to getting me back to regular bench pressing confidently.

The reverse grip bench press looks like a circus trick of an exercise, especially with the crazy weight @mikeohearn was using. But it might actually be a legit way to target your upper chest, especially if you’re limited on equipment. Here’s why: Using an underhand (supinated) grip changes shoulder rotation and arm path, allowing your arms to stay closer to the body. This puts the upper chest fibers in a better line of action to help pull the arm up and across the torso. And this isn’t just theory, research has shown that a supinated grip during the flat bench increases upper chest activation compared to a standard pronated grip (PMID: 16095407). Does this mean you need to reverse-grip all your benching for more upper pec growth? Not exactly. Other studies show increased upper chest involvement with neutral-grip pressing as well, which tells us something important. The common factor isn’t the exercise, It’s the arm path. Whether it’s reverse grip, neutral grip, or even incline benching, keeping the arms tucked roughly 45 degrees or closer and pressing slightly up toward the chin lines up best with the upper chest fibers. That’s what actually drives upper chest stimulus. Need help dialing in your training so every exercise actually does what it’s supposed to do?

BUILD YOUR ABS Incline reverse crunches are one of my favorite exercises to build strong blocky abs. They can be regressed and progressed based on your level. The higher the incline of the bench the more challenging the exercise will be. Try to find an incline that makes for a hard set of 6-10 reps. At the top of the movement think of pushing your knees to the sky and controlling on the way down. When you’re training your abs make sure you train them like any other muscle group. You don’t have to do countless reps of an ab circuit. Find challenging exercises that you can progress and train your abs hard in the 6-15 rep range. @rawnutrition [code DYLAN] @gymshark [code DSHAN10] Training Plans & 1-on-1 Coaching in bio YouTube Channel “Dylan Shannon” #fitness #gym #workout #fitnessmotivation #fit #motivation #bodybuilding #training #health #fitfam #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #love #gymlife #gymmotivation #sport #gymshark #rawnutrition

Size & Shred Training program 👉🏻 deltabolic.com (link in bio) ✅ DO THIS to Avoid a Biceps Tendon Tear The preacher curl is generally safe when performed in a controlled manner with light to moderate weight. However, using very heavy weights increases the risk of overextending your elbows, which can potentially lead to a biceps tendon tear (though rare). To prevent this, use the preacher curl bench in reverse so your upper arms are vertical. This position eliminates the risk of overextension and prevents the biceps tendon from being overstretched.
