Overview of Dumbbell Neutral Grip Chest Squat with Chest Support with Neutral Grip:
The chest stand dumbbell press is a variation of the incline dumbbell press and an exercise used to develop the back muscles and strength.
The back is the muscle group that requires quite a few variations. So experiment with different angles and arm positions to maximize your back muscles growth.
Rowing is a fundamental movement and is very important for balanced muscle growth and strength. So experiment until you find a rowing variation that you like and work on it.
Chest-supported rowing with dumbbells can be performed during back, upper body, pulling, and full body workouts.

Instructions for performing chest-supported dumbbell rowing with a neutral grip:
- Set up an adjustable incline bench at 45-degree angle and lie down on it.
- Grab a dumbbell in each hand in a neutral grip, then begin the movement by bringing your elbows behind your body and retracting your shoulder blades.
- Pull the dumbbells toward your body until your elbows are at your midline (or a little farther), then slowly lower the dumbbells to the starting position under control.
- Repeat the required number of repetitions.
Tips for performing dumbbell strips with a neutral grip on your chest:
1-Experiment with the head position and see which option (looking forward or gathering your neck) works best for you.
2-Maintain abdominal abs tone as you pull the dumbbells toward your body to prevent excessive bending of the spine.
3-Don’t let momentum dictate the movement, control the dumbbells throughout the repetition.
4-If you feel your biceps are overloaded and your back is still not active enough, use a false grip (i.e., don’t wrap your thumb around the dumbbell).
5-When you pull the dumbbells toward your body, don’t overstretch your thoracic spine by pulling your entire upper torso away from the bench. You can stretch out slightly, but don’t do it too sharply.
6-Some people are more comfortable bending their knees and placing them on the bottom pad, whereas if you have long legs, you may want to spread your legs apart and place your feet flat on the floor.
7-Do not allow your head to lean forward when performing the pull-up.
8-Similarly, make sure that your scapula moves across your rib cage. Do not lock the scapula and just move through the glenohumeral joint.
