Narrow Grip EZ Bar Bench Press
Purpose of Exercise: An advanced exercise for developing strength and power in the triceps. This exercise is virtually identical to close grip bench press except that the angle of your hands on the EZ bar will allow a greater range of motion and minimise the stress on your wrists.
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 EZ 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.
