Reverse bench grip

Tell me about the reverse grip bench press Veeky Forums

lol

answer me you cuckolds

now that is some retard-level shit

why

does this work? my chest genetics have been cucking me since i started lifting two years ago.

seems like a great way to commit suicide

Have tried it and it feels retarded

It does feel stupid. But it's powerlifting legal, and Jamie Lewis set a world record for 181 raw total using it. Apparently EMG studies show it activates the upper chest significantly more than regular grip.

Greg nuckols can lift more with it and says it activates upper chest more than incline bench variations

Nuckols is legit so I'm inclined to believe this

dyel?

suicide/f

Jeff Cavaliere mention it in a video

Its pretty good when you have a shoulder iniury
I did it for a month after I fucked my shoulder a bit benching 4 pl8
Felt nothing in my shoulder when I was reverse benching

it's the single most retarded shit you could be doing in a gym

Yeah, I think he said it's good if you have a shoulder injury.

I do Saxon Bends and Bent Press. Even still this exercise is more retarded.

>it's the single most retarded shit you could be doing in a gym
that's deadlifts, dummy

your grip should be narrower than it shows it in the pic

but it seems really good to isolate the chest instead of relying too much on shoulders

Oh i thought you'd cross your arms and grap the left part with your right hand and the right part with your left hand.

Some people like it for the reduced shoulder stress, others dislike it for the wrist stress and risk of dumping heavy weight on your face.

If you're intending to go hard or heavy on it, you'll want a spotter. Or start off pins. Trying to unrack a heavy reverse-grip bench is a motherfucker and re-racking it while fatigued carries a distinct risk of getting your face rearranged.

Shoulder stress is mostly about technique anyway.

Usually people who don't use their back muscles properly get shoulder problems.

Shoulders are not strong enough to support the weight you are supposed to be behnching.

kek

jamie lewis also takes it in the ass on camera for money

this is why i love Veeky Forums
