Muscles worked
How to do it
- Lie on an incline bench and grip the bar with an underhand (reverse) grip slightly wider than shoulder-width.
- Unrack the bar and hold it over your upper chest with arms extended.
- Lower the bar under control to the lower part of your chest, keeping the elbows tucked along your sides.
- Press the bar back up over the upper chest; the reverse grip shifts the load to the triceps and upper chest. Rerack after the final rep.
