Triceps Exercises - Close Grip Barbell Bench Press

[remberme20007]

isn't for triceps thix exercise ?

[hellauglytinted]

how heavy is it?? 35 lbs. each???

[ekiezama]

in my personal opinion should be more effective negative 4 second positive 2 second !!!!! thats it , u going to get more pump and make your fibre muscle much more involved

[SavageSword1]

can u do this on the smith machine aswell?

[cptdc]

why pay for a personal trainer........

youtube is your personal trainer!..

[Phatfarm1980]

If you do this excerise right you can add some serious mass to your triceps!

[chicagolegend]

so im guessin you should train triceps a few days after chest

[carlos16rocks]

this excersise for me helped increase strength helps break platues after a few days of doing was able to do 185 for reps on incline bench

[carlos16rocks]

i hit 135 for tricep benching today finally

[martinmerrywinkle]

uses the delts a lot too, like virtually every arm exercise

[bnorton160]

idk im not that strong but i read somewhere that it is unnecassary to have your hands inside the angle of your should joint on close grip in that you get no added tricep isolation and you produce an unnecassary strain on your wrist.....just my two cents

[6duffman9]

I usually warm up with this exercise at 155 lbs, then take it from there. If I were you, i would get the form down first. The weight will increase with time. I would recommend a spotter to ensure you keep the proper form and tempo. Remember slow means grow.

[sumballaboi]

apparanty this doesnt work unless ur lifting heavy, how heavy is heavy?

btw im 16.

[sean3210]

Depends. But generally, you should only just be able to push out 12 reps. If you can no more than 12 then you need to increase the weight.

[JARHEADdog]

u can do this exercise 4 sets 8-12 reps

keep the weight heavy enough to complete one entire rep 8-12

if u fall before 8 reps then that means weight is to heavy for u

[bluemoonseller]

around 300 pounds.

[celconicuzn]

If the weight scares you to have it over your head, then it's heavy.

[tangoforthemango]

heavy depends on the person.

You should be doing 8-9 reps per set if you want to bulk up. with about 2min rests (most people say 1min but I think that's too short if you're bulking). You shouldn't be able to do more than 10 reps, if you can its too light.

[shadowsh20]

Well you dont really want it to be heavy that much cause It messes up ya wrist

[CaseRed0605]

No, that's not true. As long as you do the lifts properly all lifts benefit your muscles. At 16, you should definitely use this exercise as a good foundation exercise for you triceps.

Remember the tricep muscle is bigger than the bicep muscle, so don't fall for the common myth to get big arms you need to do bicep exercises. You want big arms you work the triceps.

[youtuba555]

i always thought with close grip bench your elbows should be out not in? im almost 10% sure im right, but i guess i cant argue with you, LOOK AT THOSE EFFIN TRICEPS

[smmforum]

actually you really should keep your elbows tucked in close to your body. if you are using heavy weights your elbows will try to move out on your last rep or two to give you help, but try to keep the majority of your reps with the elbows in like this video.

[PatrickBrozovic]

smmforum, I agree with you...And that's 100% true

[Hagen20013]

Naw you want your elbows to your sides with close grip because that range of motion hits your triceps more than flaring them out.

[tangoforthemango]

its elbows in, you feel triceps working harder when they're in. Similar to doing a push-up with elbows in.

Cheers m8

[bigpapapump83]

does ths not also workout the middle chest?!

[istanbum]

yeah. i guess i am doing ,it wrong becasue it mostly works my chest rather than the triceps

[mathiastheok]

Try to squeeze your shoulder BACK, like your trying to scrunch your back up during the whole rep... this may help you from extending your shoulders forward when your completing a rep, as extending your shoulders forward would cause you to bring more of the pec into play. Also keep your elbows tucked in to your sides which will force the triceps into work instead of the pecs. Good luck!

[WaywardSonCRO]

yes it does, it's almost the same thing as close grip pushups

[kalyangeojit]

excellant

[casualtyarmy87]
