Overview
The barbell closegrip bench press is an exercise targeting the triceps, particularly the long head. It is performed by lying on a bench with your feet flat on the floor and your knees bent. Hold a barbell with an overhand grip, with your hands shoulder-width apart or slightly closer. Lower the bar to your chest until it touches just above your nipples, then press it back up to the starting position. Keep your elbows close to your sides throughout the movement. This exercise is usually performed for 3-4 sets of 8-12 repetitions.
