Exercise Instructions:

Setup for the reverse bench press by setting the weight of the bar rack (if it's adjustable) and adding the weight plates you want to use. Lay down on your back with your feet firmly planted on the floor. Grasp the bar with an underhand grip (palms facing your head) with your hands at wider than shoulder width. Take the bar off the rack. Slowly lower the bar straight down to the middle of your chest. Don't let the bar touch your chest! Pause, then slowly raise the bar back up. Do not lock your elbows out or rest at the top, go straight back into your next rep. Repeat this process for your desire reps.

Tips:

The reverse grip bench press is a variation of the barbell bench press. You can find some tips on correct bench press technique in the "tips" section of that page.
