ITT: we post lifts that are highly effective, and extremely underrated.

My personal pick is reverse grip bench press.
>>
>>40358652
smith machine snatches
>>
>>40358652
Sumo rdl and box squat for reps(6-10)
obviously accessorys though.
>>
what does it do that normal bench doesnt do
>>
>>40358652
you should do these but with suicide grip so you die you fucking inbred

Also single arm deadlift, literally the best forearm strength exercise of all time
>>40358669

>>40358678
Incline bench increases clavicular pectoralis activation by 5%
Reverse grip increases clavicular activation by 30%

So basically it is 6 times more effective at targeting your upper chest.
Also really good for tricep development, and preventing shoulder and elbow pain associated with regular benching.
>>
>>40358697
i might try adding it as an accessory after i bench for real
>>
>>40358678
More upper chest. People usually do incline for upper chest, but it's been shown that the difference between incline and flat bench is negligible while reverse grip has significantly more upper chest activation
>>
>>40358704
It is by no means an entire replacement for bench, unless you really have some shoulder issues that prevent regular benching...
But it is like incline bench on steroids
>>
heavy negative anything
>>
>>40358717
Heavy push press with a slow eccentric is the #1 best exercise for a stronger ohp
>>
>>40358669
How much of a manlet does somebody have to be to do a standing overhead anything in a smith machine, or inside of a rack for that matter?
>>
>>40358705
>>40358712
>>40358697
Do you have to alternate the hand you're reversing between sets? This sounds awesome. I don't have a setup for doing incline bench but this thing is like a cheat code to hit upper chest? Awesome.
>>
>>40358740
You invert both
>>
Dumb bell rows are awesome
>>

What if I drop it on my neck? At least with normal grip if it falls it's going on my chest my arms are in the way.

Zercher chicken walks and overhead deadlifts
>>
>>40358724
Dis nigga. Heavy push press is the greatest
>>
>>40358796
Don't suicide grip, and if you drop heavy weight on your neck at least you'll die quick instead of from two collapsed lungs and your heart being butt fucked by a broken rib. Any lift has dangers lol, the hobby is inherently risky. What I do is I bench in the squat rack and I set the safety bars to be even with my chest laying flat, so that when I arch my back they don't get in the way and I can just relax and slip out if I drop the weight. Zero chance of it hitting me.
>>
>>40358845
80lbs will crush your throat, I don't think I can bench enough to crush my chest yet, I only do 2pl8 for my reps.
Squat rack sounds good though,
>>
Floor press
Landmine presses while sitting
>>
>>40358652
If any of you don't know this is bait.

If you try this its basically natural selection at its finest.
>>
Klokov Presses
T-bar Rows
>>
>>40358921
Lel are you afraid to OHP because your arms might break backwards and your head goes directly beneath the bar too?
>>
>>40358921
Idk, it's definitely a real exercise, plenty of shit comes up when I google it. Plus, jokes on you. I've got a power rack, so, I'm basically invincible.
>>
>>40358652
It looks meme-y but reverse grip bench is great. It puts more of the weight on your triceps.
>>
>>40358724
fucking this.
>>
sots press
>>
>>40359029
do you do it flat or slightly inclined?

ive seen it done both ways
>>
>>40358921
OP here, it is most definitely not bait.

It is literally the GOAT upper chest exercise.
And objectively safer than bench.
Try researching it, you silly fagnigger
>>
>>40358652
It ain't possible to unrack on your own is it.?
>>
>>40358697
>reverse grip incline bench

is this even possible?
>>
>>40358921
there is literally a guy at my gym who benches more than 400 pounds and he does this reverse grip thing a lot for some reason
>>
Deflated hollow rock is GOAT
>>
>>40360189

Greg are you posting about yourself again?
>>
>>40360174
Yes but overrated.
It doesn't do much more than flat reverse, except you have to lower the weight even further

>>
snatch grip deadlift hits my lats like nothing else
>>
>>40358652
Hack squat
>>
>>40358697
