The neutral grip bench press is a variation of the traditional bench press that uses a grip where the palms face each other. This grip is typically achieved using dumbbells or a specialized barbell. The neutral position can help reduce strain on the shoulders and wrists, making it a suitable option for those with discomfort during standard bench pressing. During the exercise, the lifter lies on a bench and presses the weights upward while keeping the elbows close to the body. This movement primarily targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders, promoting strength and muscle development in these areas.
