Dumbbell Seated Front and Back Tate Press
Description
The dumbbell seated front and back tate press is a hybrid arm builder. The lifter sits on a bench and performs a tate press in front of the chest then a press behind the head. The two-angle approach hammers the triceps from both the short and long head positions.
