TRICEPS

Close-Grip Bench Press

IntermediateBarbell

A bench press variation that narrows your hand spacing to shift the load off the chest and onto the triceps. It's a solid way to add extra triceps volume on a pressing day while still training a heavy compound pattern.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie back on a bench with your shoulder blades pinched together and feet planted under your knees.

  2. 2

    Keep your head, shoulders, and glutes in contact with the bench.

  3. 3

    Grip the bar slightly inside shoulder width and unrack it so your arms are straight over your chest.

  4. 4

    Brace your core and lower the bar to your chest, grazing your elbows past your ribs.

  5. 5

    Lightly touch the lower chest, then press the bar back up as you exhale.
