Sasha †🦁 | Fitness Coach@sasha.sanon Everyone does incline press for upper chest. But reverse grip bench actually hits it harder. Not going to lie the only thing I don’t like about this exercise is how it makes my wrists feel. But my chest was on fire 🔥 Here’s why reverse grip bench builds the upper chest most people never develop: • Supinated grip locks in the upper pec. Flipping your palms toward you externally rotates the shoulder and targets the clavicular head directly, standard grip can’t do this. • The bar path actually matches the muscle. Incline press drives the bar up and away. Reverse grip drives it straight into the upper pec fibers for better mechanics, better tension. • Kills front delt compensation. Regular incline lets your front delts take over. Reverse grip forces the chest to do the work. • Way easier on your shoulders. Less AC joint and rotator cuff stress than any incline variation. Programming: → 3–4 sets of 8–12 reps → Use a Smith machine or get a spotter unracking is awkward because of the wrist movement. → Elbows at 45°, lower to mid-sternum, press up and slightly back → Swap one incline session for this Save this for your next chest day 👊🏾 #chestworkout #reels #gymtips #upperchest #fitness

@tylerpryce That looks like a lot of delt activation if u ask me. Go wider with the grip and drop that incline like 33% if not more
@ferdinan9 Building under chest is a flex. Everything builds upper. 😂😂😂
@bowd_fit_01 Na hits more triceps then chest with the reverse grip
@sethp19842026 Give the guillotine incline press a try. With wide grip. Talk about burning armpits
@_vinmelski Yooo for some reason I can lift more reverse grip on incline rather than regular grip
@tfordpetitt My elbows hurt watching this
@joolsriding_ Nope it doesn’t 😂
@gh0st_713 how long did it take u to get used to reverse grip?
