Strength exercise
Dumbbell Crush Grip Press
How to do it
- Lie on a flat bench or the floor holding a single dumbbell vertically between both palms at chest height.
- Press the palms firmly together to squeeze the dumbbell throughout the entire set.
- Press the dumbbell straight up until the arms are fully extended, maintaining the inward squeeze the whole time.
- Lower the dumbbell back to the chest under control without losing the crushing grip pressure.
- Keep the elbows tucked close to the torso as the dumbbell moves up and down.
- Focus on maintaining constant tension through the forearm flexors and chest rather than speed.
