DB Bench Press, Palms Facing
Category: Supplemental, Accessory
Muscles Targeted: Chest, Shoulders
This variation of the dumbbell bench press is probably the easiest on your shoulders. With a palm facing grip, you are forced to tuck your elbows into your body. Most people will find this a little odd at first, as this is not a common movement pattern. Because of this, start lighter than you normally would to get used to the movement.
This exercise is best used as a 2nd or 3rd exercise in your training. Reps generally fall within the 6-15 rep range, although higher reps can be used. This is a great movement for raw bench pressers.
