Strengthen Chest and Arms with Reverse Grip Push Ups

Reverse Grip Push Ups

Rep Range

10-20

Hints

Position two dumbbells on the floor, shoulder-width or slightly wider apart. Grip them with hands rotated so fingers point toward your feet. Lower your body in a push-up motion, ensuring your elbows stay close to your sides.

Common Mistakes

Avoid flaring your elbows out. Ensure your wrists are under your shoulders to prevent strain. Make sure the dumbbells are stable and won't roll during the exercise.

Breathing

Inhale as you lower down, exhale as you push back up.
