Triceps exercises: Close-grip bench press... This exercise is similar to the normal bench press but the close-grip makes it an exercise which targets your triceps more than your chest. Weights, sets and reps: The bench press bar is usually 40 pounds and if it’s your first time don’t add additional weights. However, if you feel that it’s too light you can start by adding 5 pound plates on each side. Don’t be in a hurry to increase the weight and instead concentrate on proper form and posture. How to do: Lie on bench and grasp the bar with a narrow grip (arms six inches apart). Lower the weight to your chest with your elbows close to your body and then push the barbell up until your arms are completely straight. Make sure you’ve a strong grip while doing this exercise and don’t let your wrists bend.
