Instructions
1. Start by grabbing a pair of dumbbells and sitting on the edge of a flat bench.
2. Carefully lie back on the bench while bringing the dumbbells close to your chest with your palms facing towards you (reverse grip).
3. Assume the starting position with your arms fully extended above your chest, dumbbells held with a reverse grip (palms facing towards your face), and feet planted firmly on the ground.
4. Slowly lower the dumbbells toward your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body and ensuring a controlled movement.
5. Once the dumbbells are close to your chest, pause briefly.
6. Press the dumbbells back to their starting position by extending your arms and squeezing your chest muscles.
7. Keep your wrists straight and stable throughout the exercise to avoid strain or injury.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure to maintain proper form to target the chest muscles effectively and to avoid any unnecessary strain on your wrists or shoulders. If you're new to this exercise, start with lighter weights to master the technique before increasing the weight.
