Reverse grip bench

[1MoreRep]

Hell I couldn't sleep last night so I was laying there thinking of different things I could do in the gym and this popped in my head. I used to do them back in college and had totally forgotten about them. Does anyone else ever do these. Def works the chest and the triceps in a different way. Im always trying different stuff to shock my muscles. I stood on my shoulder press machine the other day with all the plates, added 45's to the outer grip, and did some shrugs on it using the inside grip and it actually worked pretty good. If you have any weird different things to try please post them up.

Thought this was impressive, but should have had a spot.

I like that exercise! like you said, it def hits the pecs a little differently.

Yeah, def need a spotter, seems to be a wrist stressor.

My triple flexion from my wrist/elbow/shoulder on my left side is far to poor to do reverse grip bench... I can't lock it out without my arm trying to turn in and killing my wrist... I'll do them with just the bar on occasion to go through the motion though... I do miss them though lol

If any of you are old enough to remember the Barbarian brothers, those guys would reverse grip bench press 500 lbs.
