The close-grip bench press targets the triceps and chest, emphasizing the triceps more than the standard bench press. This exercise helps build upper body strength and triceps mass.

1. Lie on a flat bench with your feet flat on the ground.
2. Grip the barbell with your hands placed closer than shoulder-width apart.
3. Lower the barbell to your chest, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
4. Press the barbell upward until your arms are fully extended.
5. Slowly lower the barbell back to your chest.
