Exercise: Close Grip Triceps Bench
Muscles Exercised: Triceps
Description: Using the flat bench, lie down as if you were doing a normal bench press. You may want to choose a weight much lower than usual and have a spotter on hand to assist the lift if you are unfamiliar with this exercise. Hold the barbell with a close grip, approximately 8-12 inches apart (note that the grip in the picture is closer than this, but most people recommend keeping your grip 8-12 inches apart). Keep your arms close to your sides and lower the bar until it just touches your chest. Return to the starting position, but do not lock out your elbows at the top of the lift. Focus on using your triceps to push and not your chest.
