Açıklama
Dumbbell Hammer Press is an advanced chest press variation performed with one arm using a reverse grip. This exercise particularly targets the upper chest muscles, anterior deltoids, and triceps. Thanks to the reverse grip position, it activates upper chest fibers more intensely compared to classic press movements. Working with one arm contributes to correcting muscle imbalances and strengthening core stabilization. This movement, suitable for intermediate and advanced athletes, is an excellent choice for those who want to add variety to chest training. Starting with light weight and prioritizing form is of great importance.
