> its not wrist strength, its the angle that you put the wrist under…it just hurts my wrists bad if i try to do narrow grip…so i do isolations with cables, skull crushers, and reverse grip bench for my tri’s. it works very well. reverse grip maybe ackward at first but you get used to it.

Ya you have to find the width that is right for you…I like my hands where my two index fingers are almost touching the center grooved part of the bar.

For reverse grip a spotter is a must…it is really easy to mess yourself up…just an awkward grip. Especially if you are new at them…they feel crazy.
