Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Kettlebell Reverse Bench Press.
A bench press variation using kettlebells with a supinated (reverse/underhand) grip while lying on a flat bench. The reverse grip shifts emphasis to the upper chest and recruits the biceps as synergists, offering a unique stimulus compared to standard pressing.
The Kettlebell Reverse Bench Press is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
