TRICEPS

Smith Machine Close-Grip Bench Press

BeginnerBarbellMachine

A close-grip bench press on a Smith machine that puts extra load on the triceps while still hitting the chest and shoulders. The narrow grip drives triceps involvement, and the machine's guided bar path keeps you stable so you can press with confidence. Works for lifters at any level chasing pressing strength and arm size.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Lie back on the bench with your shoulder blades pinched and feet planted firmly under your knees.

  2. 2

    Keep your head, shoulders, and hips on the bench the whole time.

  3. 3

    Position the Smith bar over your lower chest and grip it directly above your shoulders with an overhand grip.

  4. 4

    Brace your core, unhook the bar, and lower it toward your lower chest by bending your elbows close to your sides.

  5. 5

    Lightly touch your chest, then press the bar back up to the start.
