Neutral Grip
A "Neutral Grip" refers to a hand position where the palms face each other, typically used in various strength training exercises. This grip is commonly employed in movements like the dumbbell press or pull-up, allowing for a more natural alignment of the wrists and shoulders. It can help reduce strain on the joints and may be more comfortable for individuals with wrist or shoulder issues.
Using a neutral grip can also engage different muscle groups compared to other grips, such as the overhand or underhand grips. This versatility makes it a popular choice for those looking to diversify their workout routines while maintaining proper form and reducing the risk of injury.
