Reverse Grip Seated French Press Video Exercise Guide

Reverse Grip Seated French Press Video Exercise Guide
  1. Set up for the reverse grip seated french press by loading a barbell or EZ-bar with the appropriate amount of weight and placing it in front of a 90-degree angle bench.
  2. Sit with your back flat against the bench with your feet flat on the floor and the barbell resting on your thighs.
  3. Grasp the barbell with an underhand grip (palms facing up) with your hands about 8-12 inches apart.
  4. Lift the bar above your head and bend at your elbows slightly to take the tension onto your triceps. This is the starting position for the exercise.
  5. Keeping your elbows fixed and pointing straight up toward the ceiling, slowly lower the bar down behind your head as far as comfortably possible.
  6. Pause, and then slowly raise the bar back to the starting position.
  7. Don't lock your elbows out, and then repeat the movement.
