Close-Grip Bench Press

Description

Lie on a flat bench and grip the barbell with hands about 8-12 inches apart. Lower the bar to your chest keeping elbows close to your body, then press back up. The narrow grip shifts the emphasis from the chest to the triceps. This is one of the best mass-building exercises for the triceps because it allows you to use heavy weight. Arnold includes this as a staple in arm training.
