Close Grip Press

Tip of the Week - "Close Grip Press" - A good exercise to build bulk on the triceps; incorporating a slight twist to the exercise will really help you to target the outer head of the triceps. To start the exercise, adjust yourself so that you're lying down on a bench at the Smith Machine with the bar directly above your chest. Using a shoulder width grip, slowly lower the bar down towards your chest. Make sure you keep the elbows in to avoid working the shoulders instead of the triceps. To really hit the outer head of the triceps, imagine that your pulling the bar apart during the up phase of the exercise. Aim for 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps with only 60-90 seconds rest in between sets.
