close grip bench question
I worked my arms today b/c I switch from chest/tris to bis/tris. Anyway I was doing close grip and I noticed I was getting a good pump in my chest. Now I usually didn't notice it b/c I did them after my chest but since I did tris on thier own I wasn't sure how much I should be using my chest?

Are you're elbows traveling to far away from your torso? You will start recruiting the pecs more when this happens. Using a reverse-grip, spotter needed, forces the elbows in more than using a prone-grip (less weight is used but the triceps will take more of the workload).

Reverse grip presses are great for tricep strength and development. Plus your regular bench will skyrocket from doing this movement.

It's hard to get used to, but reverse grip are great alternatives. You don't see many people doing them, but they are wonder workers.
On close grip, I brush my torso with my elbows on the negative side of the lift, makes me have something to think about while I'm doing them so my elbows are tucked in.
