💪 CLICK THAT NOTIFICATION BELL SO YOU NEVER MISS AN UPLOAD!

A great mass builder for the triceps, as long as you make sure you are actually engaging them with this movement!

135 isn't very much weight so breathing like this won't be an issue. Proper breathing means holding your breath during the lift and only exhaling when the arms are locked out at the top or when the bar is back on the rack. This is especially important when the weight goes up as this helps stabilize your back in a neutral position which helps avoid orthapedic injury.

If the close grip bench press works my chest better than the regular bench press can I do that instead?

I've always done it like this and I've made a lot of progress. Do you guys think I should switch to the wide grip or just keep doing it like this?

Can this exercise be done on a smith machine since it seems like the barbell is moving slightly horizontally?

Hey can I recommend you speak a little bit more about form, because it isn’t just laying flat on your back , the only reason I know is because a trainer taught me otherwise I was doing these wrong !!

So, "close-grip" is my normal grip?! What the hell is a regular grip?! Jesus, does a wide grip touch the weights?

I benched like this for 2 years cuz it was comfortable and I'm just now switching my grip but I can rep 250 with this and hit 275 like this gonna see how much I can push once I get used to widened grip cause I finally fixed it.
