How to do the reverse chest press?

How do you perform THIS exercise?

Place your hands in a supine grip on the barbell with shoulder width apart. Pull the bar up and sit on the bench with your feet braced and bring the bar towards your chest. Elbows should be well back and chest out during the contraction. Do not fully extend your arms into the eccentric phase of the movement.

CAUTION: Do not over arch when pulling and control the movement in both directions.

Tips

1. Inhale as you pull, block, and then exhale during the eccentric phase of the movement
2. When the exercise is finished, gently bring the bar back up without jerking, which will avoid injuries of your joints.

Variants

• Horizontal Pronation Pull
• High pulley pull upside down, changing to neutral grip
• Wide or tight grip
