Reverse-Grip Dumbbell Bench Press Tip 

The variation of dumbbells is extremely useful for a small person like me ru-vid.comUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 But the dumbbell size being large it's hard to do certain exercises like deadlift ( I have to have my hands and legs a bit wider to accommodate the size of the DB )Otherwise happy with the purchase. No excuse not to lift weight when it's snowing outside.

Underrated and killer exercise. You'll feel the pump much more than a regular bench IMO.

Wow, this is great! A friend at the gym who uses your program told me about you, and he and his wife were right: you explain the movements and the form really well. I'm sold!

This saved my shoulders and elbows!

Dr. Jim, I really don't know how to thank you. It was a eureka moment for me. I took my shoulders and traps almost entirely out of the equation, and felt the kind of chest stretch I believe I should have been feeling all along with the bench press. Thank you for all your work!

Flyes started hurting the shoulders, (impingement issues), prone grip always needs to be heavier), tried these for the first time after seeing this, and these are awesome!!! You really feel the blood flow, the pec stretch, and it really helps to eliminate shoulder pain. And you don’t need much heavier dumbbells either, about the same ones you curl, or maybe about 10lbs heavier. Love these!!!

You are my saviour doc..This is a highly underrated exercise..Best for both gym and home session..As i am in quarantine at home right now,i tried this exercise and can feel the significant difference..i am feeling more pump and effective stress on my upper chest by doing this rather than incline barbell and dumbell press..keep coming with such helpful videos doc..✌️💚

I cant believe all the years I’ve been lifting dumbbells I haven’t seen these. THE alternative to when you wish to bench press, but don’t have really heavy weights, and they are shoulder friendly!!

This is the best reverse grip bench press video out there Doc! And it has your signature style of teaching and explanation!

I can’t wait to try these. A friend of mine at work recommended Jim’s reverse grip barbell bench press for upper chest, but I couldn’t do it effectively. It felt like my anatomy was preventing me from a full range of motion. I’m hoping it’ll be easier with the dumbbells.

Jim, you rock bro...I began using your workouts and supps along with the IFCC...currently am in my 2nd month...the results are measurable. My life has changed for the better. Decided to now be a CPFT...and all else along with this lifestyle. God bless you, your family and business. JYM ARMY STRONG...

I honestly have been doing only dumbbell and cable presses. I feel them much more in my chest than the barbell press and they give me crazy pumps

Great tip and demonstration technique! Thank you!

I have been donin this exercise for long time and I can feel it in the lower chest more

I experimented with doing one arm reverse-grip dumbbell press from lying supine on the floor. When I properly balanced the dumbbell from the starting position I fed pectoralis major clavicular head doing the majority of the work.

Underrated videos. I’m glad I found this. Thanks for the information. I will be putting it to good use in my workouts!

Thanks doc! was doing it wrong and felt discomfort in my wrists. Thanks for educating me

I’m just having a hell of a time getting my chest activated I feel like I have the right grip ect but just am not able to get that squeez and feel it in the shoulders more. It’s kinda depressing honestly. Im ok with other patterns just not chest.

Thank you, Sir. The supinating at the top was the thing I learned and will remember that.

Simple and effective advice. Thanks man

Tattoo guy “what can I do for you?” Jim “give me that yakuza” Tattoo guy “....say no more fam”

Thanks bro. I recently found out the reason my pecs wasn't growing is because I was using the wrong elbow positioning and working out my shoulders more then my chest.

I love this exercise just did it with 15 lbs felt so good

these get you a killer pump and actually use them at the end of my regular pressing session with pretty lightweight and I do a few reps of these and then I go directly into a few flies and then back and forth and it's crazy town

Thank you, I find I can’t lift as heavy on an inclined bench compared to flat bench this workout is definitely great

Hey Dave Bautista. How are you?

Awesome. Thanks in a million. Great content.

You sound exactly like Shawn Michaels.

Perfect for bad shoulder

i do not have a bench. Can i do this exercise on the floor ? 😢

I always go with cable reverse pres.... Works great...

hey Jim, would you recommend this exercise as a medial head triceps exercise?

Over developed lower pecs , shoulders and triceps made me switch to this years ago. It made me look much more proportionate by increasing the size of my upper chest and not hitting those areas previously mentioned. Also you feel it more on your biceps compared to all out triceps only. I also do it with one hand cable rows and ı can't think of any other movements that are better to have less shoulder involvement. I stopped any kind of benching after this and ı only do db decline and dips( still hits the upper part too) for lower chest

Thank you bro saving the homies out here

Thanks 👍👍

Who the hell thumb downs these videos?? Industry trolls?? Haha

Thanks doc!

Thanks Og great advice

in my case, reverse grip is good for elbow joint. i have quite serious elbow pain but when i do dumbbell press with reverse grip, i don't feel any pain.

Upper chest?

My Shock Wave Therapy therapist recommended these to take the stress off of my left rear delt.

Ah, I wish I watched this video before doing it wrong.

Why am I seeing all the other videos doing the reverse in an incline? Is it necessary or does flat work the upper in the reverse grip? I did 5 sets yesterday flat reverse grip and I am not feeling jack and that was added to my normal routine.

Have you tried this with Incline dumbbell bench press? If so is it a similar set up?

this hurts my wrist so bad and im not sure why, maybe i havent built up enough strength in the wrist? Im using only 8kg(2kg lighter than my curl) Just started working out about a month ago and I am/was around 56kg and 181cm.

Could this be used also a Tricep exercise?

What a good idea! I haven't tried it like that before ! I don't usually train a lot of chest tho ;)

Shoot. I though it was targeting my lower chest.

Reverse grip incline?

Obviously you have to go lighter on this exercise, right?

Brains and muscles combined. Probably the best looking body on RU-vid imo.

Each part of the chest does this target ? The lower or upper pec

Can you build upper chest with 15 pound dumbell

I've been doing normal grip for months reverse grip makes my pecs burn in flames I love it so much though it's definitely much harder probably double as hard hurts like a bitch you better love pumping
