For our pushing movement this cycle, we’re going t focus on the Close-grip Bench Press.  Looking to get some good work o the shoulders and tricep strength! Technique Points to remember: 1. Move your grip in 2-3” from your competition grip. 2. Focus on tucking your elbows more and touching the bar lower on your chest to maintain bar over wrist over elbow stacked position.
