Narrow Grip Bench Press
Purpose of Exercise: An advanced exercise for developing strength and power in the triceps.
Execution of Exercise: Lie on a flat bench, keep your feet firmly pressed down on the floor for stability. Use a narrow grip (6-12inches) on the bar. Lower the bar from arms length to just above your sternum pause for a second and push the bar back to the start position. The bar should be lowered under control.
Important Points: The bar should move up and down in a straight line i.e. the bar should not move towards your head or feet during the lift, if this happens it is a sign that the bar is not under control. To ensure maximum results keep your elbows pointed out and forearms perpendicular to the floor. A spotter is advised. NB. Despite the animation where the bar does not touch the chest (the grip used was too narrow) it should in your case.
