Close Grip Presses
Instructions
- This movement is performed lying on a flat bench. When you are in position, place
your feet flat on the ground for balance and to avoid injury to lower back.
- Grasp the bar with a very narrow grip. Use an overhand grip with your thumbs placed
on the outside.
- Raise the bar directly above your chest. Next, slowly lower the bar to your upper to
middle chest area. Keep your elbows in at your sides at all times.
- Touch your chest, pause, then at the same speed, raise the bar to the starting
position.
Tips
- Do not let the bar bounce off your chest. Also, keeping your triceps close to your
body will place the focus on the triceps muscles as opposed to the chest.
