When doing the flat/inclined dumbbell bench press is it ok to rotate your wrists?


So if i was to do the same with a barbell i cant rotate my wrists as the bar forces you to keep everything straight but not sure if i should rotate my wrists when using dumbbells?

@EssCee When you say rotate your wrists, do you mean coming to a neutral grip position at the bottom of the movement (palms turned in)?


If that's what you mean, yeah you can do that! Just make sure your wrists aren't bent!
