The Barbell Close Grip Bench Press primarily targets your triceps, but also hits your chest and shoulders.
To get started:
- Lie down with your back on a flat bench.
- Use a close grip just inside shoulder width to grasp the bar.
- Lift the barbell off the rack with arms extended.
- To lower the barbell, bend your elbows, keeping them close to your sides to target the triceps.
- To ensure the tension remains on the triceps, stop just a few inches above your chest, then extend your arms to push the barbell back to the starting position.
- Repeat.
