    I'd say throughout my entire career as a trainer, this is one of the top 5 exercises I see being performed incorrectly in the gym.
    If the goal is to target triceps and remove as much chest out of the movement as possible, you need to bring the bar down over your torso. YES, you will not be able to lift as much weight as a traditional bench press... but what does that have to do with anything? Arent we trying to focus on TRICEPS?
    So switch-up your workouts and try adding close-grip bench press with proper form for a few weeks. You will be surprised just how quickly your overall strength increases!

    Thanks Scott for the short and sweet tutorial with the close grip bench. I’ve tried it a few times for tricep training but it always felt wrong, and then I went back to doing skullcrushers. Will give it another chance now and hopefully get it right this time!! 🎉😊

    Hey Scott, for people with very limited equipment like myself, would this exercise be just as effective with dumbells? I dont have access to a bench press, so I am having to do everything with dumbells.

    Hey Scott,
    Were around the same age. I’ve been working out consistently since 2006. But after marriage, baby, two jobs. I haven’t found time or the motivation to workout 5x a week like I used too, I’m lucky to do 3x a week. But mostly 2x a week.
    What workout routines work best for guys in my situation? Working out 5x a week isn’t feasible since me and my wife both work and take turns caring for our baby.
    I remember getting amazing results in 2010 following your drop set routine for chest. Did it yesterday was outta the gym in 30 minutes. Need a routine like that quick and effective. Thanks man you’re holding it down for us natural guy’s pushing 40.
