Reverse Grip Standing

Keeping your legs slightly bent, bend over grasping a suitably weighted barbell with your hands double shoulder width apart - palms facing upwards, thumbs over the bar.

START
FINISH
have your palms facing away throughout the movement
keep your back flat and pull the weight up towards your chest

Commence the exercise with your arms straight, with the weight on the floor, with your back ideally vertical to the floor.

Smoothly lift the weight up to your lower chest, aiming to keep your elbows high, focusing on pulling your shoulder blades together.

Lower down under control, however keep the weight off the floor in order to keep your back muscles contracted to maximize exercise benefit.

 


Repeat for desired amount of reps. This exercise can be performed using a normal or close grip position.
