Close Grip Bench Press
Essential 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 Close Grip Bench 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.
