A neutral grip is commonly defined as which of the following?

  1. Palms facing down

  2. Palms facing each other

  3. Thumbs up

  4. Palms up

The correct answer is: Thumbs up

A neutral grip is best defined as when the palms are facing each other. This grip allows for a more natural position of the shoulders and wrists during various exercises, which can help reduce strain and improve stability. It is commonly used in exercises like the dumbbell shoulder press or some rowing movements, where maintaining shoulder alignment is crucial for preventing injury and ensuring effective muscle engagement. The notion of a neutral grip can often be confused with other grip types, such as the palms facing down or palms up positions, which are not characterized as neutral. The thumbs-up position is also not considered a neutral grip; rather, it may refer to a specific grip used in some exercises, but it does not accurately describe the neutral grip's definition.
