Guide for Close Grip Bench Press
- Perform the exercise with a shoulder-width grip to reduce the risk of injury
- Lower the weight in a calm and slow manner, always with tension in the muscle you are exercising.
- Make sure your elbows are close to your body
- You should hit the chest slightly lower than with a normal bench press
- It is important that your wrists basically lie over your elbows during the entire movement
- The bar should end up over your shoulders in the top position, not over your stomach
- Inhale on the way down and exhale on the way up
