👊 Palms Facing Each Other (Neutral Grip)
➡️ Elbows stay tucked
➡️ More controlled arc
➡️ Safer on shoulders
➡️ Targets mid to outer chest
➡️ Great for mind-muscle connection & squeezing at the top
🔥 Palms Facing Out (Pronated Grip)
➡️ Elbows flare out more
➡️ Greater chest stretch
➡️ Slightly riskier for shoulders
➡️ Hits inner chest more directly
➡️ Adds variety and depth to pec training
💡 Quick Tip:
Start with neutral grip to warm up and build tension, then switch to palms out for a deeper stretch and inner chest burnout!
