N.O.F. Reverse Grip Bench Press

By bringing the hands in along the bar and taking a close shoulder-width grip, the chest becomes largely inactive in the lift and the stress shifts to the triceps, with help from the front delts.
So by taking a close grip with elbows tucked -- there is no lateral movement of the upper arm towards the centre of the body during the lift. As such, the stress shifts over to the triceps - which means big gains in tricep size and pressing strength.

Would you recommend a reverse grip when performing a close grip bench press?

@DahStoryTella

Definitely!

That's what we're doing, I should've mentioned it in the video.

@ActionFigure73 hey but what about like really close grip like the triceps exercise?

@andrewb211

It's possible, but for me it causes my arms to flair out too much and hurts my wrists.
