A hand position where the palms face each other, commonly used for rows, presses and curls.
Why Neutral grip matters
A neutral grip may feel comfortable for some people and changes how force is applied, but it is not universally safer.
A practical example
Using parallel handles for a neutral-grip lat pulldown.
Common mistake
Assuming grip choice alone will fix persistent joint pain without assessing the movement and load.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
