Close grip press - triceps - how-to exercise tutorial - Buff Dudes
video description
I incorporated this exercise into my routine about 6 years ago. Up until then, I was using kick backs/rope pushdowns and skull crushers/overhead tricep extension. The close-grip doesn't sculpt but it does generate mass and the strength and endurance you gain in the triceps translate to the normal bench press movement because it is in itself, a bench-press movement. As a result, I was able to lift heavier and do more reps which helped me gain more mass on my chest, anterior/medial deltoids as well.
Be real careful with any bench-press movement though. Make sure you keep your shoulders down and depressed in the movement and frequently stretch and strengthen your rotator cuff muscles. otherwise you're going to end up with impingement and other rotator cuff tendon injuries. Your stabilizers need to be strong. I screwed up in that regard but I'm rehabilitating that issue.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3: 16-17

I always wondered about close-grip bench press because I don't know if I should do it on my tricep day or on my chest? same thing with dips!

Officially swapping from tricep extensions to this, I feel it much better than tricep extensions and I don-t feel elbow pain either
