Lying Close-Grip Triceps Press To Chin

Starting position:

Select the appropriate weight matching your fitness level and type of training. Lie on your back on a flat bench with your feet pushing into the floor. Grab the bar with a pronated narrow grip (palms facing forward). As you are lying down, extend your arms in front of you as you hold the barbell over your chest.

Exercise:

Start lowering the bar by bending at the elbows until it lightly touches your chin. Keep your elbows locked in one position with a mild bending back so that you avoid bending your wrists while lifting the bar to your chin. Keep your elbows shoulder-width apart. Keep your wrists firm all the way through. Breathe in as you go down and breathe out as you extend your arms.

Note:

Do not over overrate your capacity while selecting the appropriate weight. Make sure your elbows are in the correct position and eliminate sideways movements. Make sure you avoid straining your lower back; both your chest and entire torso must be straight and firm all the way through. Avoid bending your wrists (dorsal flexion) at any time.

Recommendation:

It is advised to use a spotter, especially if you are working out with heavier weight. Choose the number of repetitions to match your training type.
