Chest Exercises - Close Grip Barbell Bench Press
Close-Grip Barbell Bench Press
Exercise Advice: This exercise is exactly the
same as the free weight medium grip barbell bench press except that
you will use a closer grip when performing this exercise. Lie flat
on your back and grab the barbell above you with a grip about 12
inches apart. Lift the barbell off of the rack and slowly lower
it to about 3 inches above your chest and then press the bar back
to the start position. DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR TO YOUR CHEST (this
causes unneeded stress on your shoulder joints and takes the tension
away from your pec muscles, which are what we want to be doing the
work!). Be sure that when you are lowering the bar that you do so
in a slow and controlled fashion. Conversely, when you press the
bar upward, you want to do so in an explosive fashion. Repeat this
movement for as many repetitions as you can until failure. Remember
to always use a spotter when performing this and almost every other
free weight exercise!
