Close-Grip Dumbbell Press
The Close-Grip Dumbbell Press is a strength movement that targets your triceps. Here's how to do it with clean form.
How to do the Close-Grip Dumbbell Press
- Lie flat on a bench and hold the dumbbells pressed together, palms facing each other, over your chest.
- Lower the dumbbells to your chest with elbows tucked, keeping the weights in contact.
- Press back to the start, maintaining contact between the dumbbells throughout.
- Don't let the weights drift apart — the close position is what loads the triceps.
