Hi All,
Today, my helpful gym trainer Ankit made me do shoulders in reverse using barbell. In this forum post, I'll keep sharing on gym weightlifting workout exercises done in reverse from usual.

SHOULDERS IN REVERSE
>> When you take an underhand grip on shoulder presses, the emphasis shifts to the front delts and the very upper fibers of the upper pecs. Your elbows flare out to your sides on standard overhand-grip barbell and dumbbell shoulder presses, placing more emphasis on the middle deltoid head. With an underhand grip, the elbows travel more in front of the body, calling on more front-deltoid fibers. The elbows also drop farther in the bottom position of the shoulder press with an underhand grip, involving more upper pecs; the front delts take on the majority of the load after the upper arms come parallel to the floor. Many bodybuilders are more concerned with middle-delt head development than their front delts, but the reverse-grip shoulder press is a great way to shape the chest-delt tie-in (the groove that separates the pecs and delts), making both muscle groups look that much more impressive.
Best!
