Close-Grip Barbell Bench Press

Triceps · Barbell

How to do it

Bench press with your hands at shoulder width, **no closer**: hands together loads the wrists without giving you more triceps. Lower the bar to your lower chest with elbows tucked and press. You feel triceps and some chest. It is the triceps exercise that allows the most load, so it goes first in the arm block.
