reverse bench anybody?

[hanuri]

Do You fellas have any experience with reverse benchpresses?
Any data how the movement affects differently (vs. normal benches)for pecs.
I`ve been doing them for about a year and boy do I like it!
Because of a shoulder(old injury) injury I can`t do normal benches at all(with baby weights perhaps!).
I use about the same weights now with reverseb. than I did with normalb. I have a feeling the rev.b. hits more upper pecs and front delts(and tri`s too).
As mentioned it`s now a favorite movement of mine and I recommend u all to give it a try! Now , please share your experiments with me if anyone happens to use this great movement in chest training!

Im not sure about you, but i use reverse bench for my tris. really heavy weight to build the top of my tricep. i dont really get a burn in my chest. maybe your grip is different than mine.

I also do them, but for physical reasons similar to yours. Anthony Clark had a tremendous bench with a reverse grip.

I also have shoulder injuries, and reverse benchpresses still hit my shoulders. that's why I stick with dumbell presses and machines. At least it gets the job done.

Everytime I try reverse grip bench it hurts the hell out of my rear delts so I said f-it!!

.. for your comments(so far).
I use a grip similiar to normal bench. I also do stop-and-go- reverses with a narrower.grip. Somehow I manage to make it feel in my pecs.(some say they can`t feel dips in their chest or tris).
Guess I wouldn`t do reverses without my nagging injury, but plan to do them `till something else goes broke in the pec/ shoulder- area. Yeah, that Anthony Clark did move some serious weight! Wonder where he is now....
