SETUP: Pin your shoulders to the bench, as if trying to puff your chest up. This will protect your shoulders against a heavy weight. Grip placement should be NO WIDER than shoulder-width, otherwise you’ll be unable to effectively hit your triceps.
REP: Brace your entire body and control the weight as you lower the bar to your pecs. The narrow grip will mean your elbows travel close to your sides, as opposed to “out” as they would on a normal Bench Press. This is fine. Power the bar up until your arms are straight, but keep those shoulders pinned down!
TIP: Notice how I try not to descend below 90 degrees? If we go all the way, our pecs & shoulders will just take over and once again I’d be unable to effectively target the triceps.
