Thread: Hammer Grip Bench Press vs Regular Dumbbell Presses
Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by bulldawg042
How does the Hammer Grip differ in terms of muscles worked over a regular dumbbell press? Does it use more Tris, Forearms, or Pecs than the normal presses?

I believe using the hammer grip for db press would put more emphasis on your triceps than your chest but i've never done them considering the whole point of doing db presses is to work your chest...correct me if i'm wrong

Both are integral components of my routine. But, I would ALWAYS choose DB presses over the HS machine.
