How to do Wide Reverse Grip Press
Lay on the ground holding dumbbells with a wide reverse grip (palms facing you, arms positioned wider than shoulder-width). Maintaining the reverse grip, press the weights upwards in a controlled manner. Return them to the starting position, keeping the grip consistent.
Common mistakes
Allowing wrists to rotate or changing grip during the movement. Not maintaining the wide stance of the arms. Relying on momentum rather than controlled motion.
Breathing
Exhale as you press the dumbbells up. Inhale as you return them to the starting position.
