the Close grip bench press

We don't, I don't get bored easily, as long as I am making progress in reps or weight, I stay focused. Switching grips helps, plus I might incorporate some bell close grip presses to really smash my tri's. My old gym in Cali had the Hammer Strength dip machine, I miss that thing, nothing has ever hit my tri's as good as that. We would load that fuker up with 7-8 plates a side and rip the shit out of our tri's. If I had figured out back then the proper bench grip I think I would have been able to get 4 plates eventually, damn so much wasted time.

Switching up your grip is very important IMO, also! Whether you pronate or supinate your grips your hitting the muscles at different angles... While always working your forearms, too!
