Close Grip Bench Press Exercise

If the close grip bench press is not done with strict technique it may as well be a shoulder exercise! Keep your elbows tucked in at all times and do not lock your eblows out at the top of the exercise. It's a good idea to have a spotter handy for this exercise.

How to perform the Chest Press:

• Add some weight to your exercise bar.
• Lie on the bench with your arms extended, the bar over your chest, and your feet on the bench.
• Slowly lower the bars to your chest, pause, and then push it back to the starting position.
