EZ-Bar Close-Grip Bench Press

Expert Advice

Keep your elbows close to your body to emphasize tricep engagement and avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement to maintain tension on the muscles.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie on a flat bench with an EZ barbell, gripping it with hands closer than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Lower the barbell towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
  3. Press the barbell back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
