# Dumbbell Seated Reverse Close Grip Press

Sit on a bench with your back straight on the backrest and feet flat on the floor.

## How to do it

1. Sit on a bench with your back straight on the backrest and feet flat on the floor. Hold a dumbbell in each hand, bringing them close in front of your face with your palms facing your head.
2. Press the dumbbells upward until your arms are extended overhead, maintaining a close grip throughout the movement.
3. Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position with control, keeping the weights close together. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

## Form tips

- Keep your back pressed firmly against the bench to avoid strain.
- Choose a weight that allows you to maintain proper form and control.
- Avoid locking your elbows at the top of the press; keep a slight bend to protect your joints.
- No bench? Use a sturdy chair set against a wall so it cannot slide.
