Beschrijving
Dumbbell Hammer Press is an advanced chest press variation performed with one arm using a reverse grip. This exercise specifically targets the upper chest muscles, front shoulders and triceps muscles. Thanks to the reverse grip position, it activates the upper chest fibers more intensely compared to classic press movements. Working with one arm contributes to correcting muscle imbalances and strengthening core stabilization. Suitable for intermediate and advanced athletes, this movement is an excellent choice for those who want to add variety to their chest training. It is of great importance to start with light weight and prioritize form.
