Exercise Index - Neutral Grip Incline Dumbbell Press

I have shoulder impingement and this exercise is amazing to allow me to keep training chest!

What angle is the incline? 45 degrees?

RIP John "I lift like this" meadows

Everytime i have a question i know he's got an answer

Should I have the palms facing each other or at a 45 degree angle like youre doing

Kind of like a sven press but using dumbells instead. Looks good, going to try it tomorrow.

John always in our hearts and our gains brotha

We miss you John <3

45 degree incline?

Miss having you around John.

Thank you John Meadows. What a gift to the community.

We will always be lifting for you John. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Miss you Mountain Dog. 😭

I have tendonitis in my wrist, pinkie side, neutral grip with dumbells is the only way I can bench due to the pain

Thanks.

Sounds like a no brainer, thanks!

Got big

Thanks for the vid John. Debating between a slightly angled or completely neutral grip swiss bar.

I see in the vid your grip isn't 100% neutral and palms facing (elbows slightly flared) - would you say there is much of a difference in pec vs tricep activation between the two or enough to make a choice between the two bar grips mentioned above?

Natural Grip where possible on almost all my workouts. 👍

Weak voice...do post...therapy.

John meadows wears cool tshirts. Always says thank you. Gives good advice. What a beast

close grip dumbbell press has been the best exercise for me to grow my arms.

Do you think this variation would help my bench more than another? Just because of the more pec and tricep focus

Good call - Frank zane talked about this exact hand position when doing incline pressing in one of his classic training routines

john your advise in general has helped me train injury free for a long time now.....much appreciated for this one as well.

zug zug me like 2 min attention span (caveman grunts)

While I still keep it as a pressing movement, I envision it as more of a fly in that I just focus on bringing my elbows together in an arcing motion, rather than just pushing the weight up. Tends to help with most chest exercises

Your fucking veins. Jesus Christ that's insane.

63 yr old 5'5" bench angle 45 or 30 degrees for better upper pecs

I use this grip/position pr default. Currently trying out the "4 exercise chest workout for mass" where this is the first exercise. Nice one, John, Thanks :)

Im gonna try this

Scotty got massive bruh

Aside from your awesome workouts that I enjoy so much and have learned lots from your style and approach; but where do you get those graphic tees you wear so often?

Love your channel always great advice

Thank you very much for the video! I tried it today. Greetings from Germany

I need this shirt lol great video 💪

Will try tomorrow

I tried this for the first time and loved it and it was easy on my delts thanks john!

What bout flat bench Neutral grip dumbbell press?

Hurt my ac joint 2 month ago.. Can't really train the press.. Maybe the neutral grip can help me

Hey, Jon,you have Monster arms!!!

Thank u...gr8 tip!

And I am still convinced that you are


LUKE SKYWALKERS brother !!!!!

dat t shirt, love it

Got to try it. Dumbbell presses seem to not hurt me like bench

i love this series

Great video, John! Especially for those of us with banged up shoulders, elbows, wrists. Less stressful movements for joints are always welcome.

What is the dislike??? Been doing neutrals with multi bar...great to de stress the shoulder! Get used to it after time and increase loads!!! Good tip on avoiding fly technique....thanks John

Damn look at his arms
