"What I'm going to perform is the tricep narrow grip bench press. It's almost like doing a bench press, but the difference is is that your arms are closer to your body. So, the way you can measure it out is stick your two thumbs all the way out. And, then to bring the bar extend it all the way out. Bring it down slowly, keeping your elbows close to the body. And, then press it back up. So, again it's almost like the bench press. The only difference is, your arms a lot closer to your body. You want to bring it down, keeping the triceps tight. And, that's your main concentration is that tricep. So, when you bring it down you're stretching that tricep out. Flexing it and flexing on top as well. You continue this motion. Do about three sets, eight to ten reps. And, you don't want the weight to be heavy that you would normally use for a regular chest press. Because, you're doing triceps and you're doing a closer grip. So, it's going to be a little bit harder. You continue, again continue this for about three sets to eight to ten reps. And, that is how you do the narrow tricep bench press."
