Close Grip Bench Press Workout



Close Grip Bench Press Workout............


Muscles worked: triceps, a great workout to add mass to your triceps
Spotter Required: No
Minimum Equipment required: Bench press with barbell weights and standard
The best equipment to use: An Olympic bench press with an Olympic bar with weights
Warm-up: When near the bench press is the first triceps exercise of the day then I recommend the implementation of two warm-up sets, with 50% of the weight you would normally lift. If you have already performed a different triceps training on bench press in the vicinity there is no need to warm up.
How often should this exercise: Close Grip Bench Press is a great substitute for dips or bench dips lying if you are like me but I perform close grip bench press with any triceps exercise.
When should this exercise, I recommend the implementation of this exercise at the beginning of the triceps training as it requires quite a lot of energy.
How the exercise: the prone position on a bench press with your feet firmly on the ground, grab the barbell off the rack with a narrower grip than shoulder width (6 to 12 inches apart). For sure grip that your thumbs touch the barbell and the thumbs are shown against each other, you should not bench press the same type handle than standard barbell.
Starting from the top position with arms extended and elbows locked, start to lower the barbell on your lower / middle chest. You will notice that your arms remain on the sides as you lower the barbell toward your chest, make sure that is the case and you do not show the elbow to the outside.
At the lower point-stop about an inch or two from his chest, at this point to raise the barbell to the starting position without locking your elbows.
If you think your wrists start to hurt the chances are you are either too heavy or lift may be your grip is too tight. If you feel your grip width and weight are perfect, but the wrist still hurt to try with an EZ curl bar instead of a straight barbell.
Mentality used at the bench press a lot of energy, so remember to breathe properly during the exercise. Exhale on the way down and exhale on the way up.
