Close-Grip Dumbbell Press

Build triceps strength using dumbbells in a close-grip position.

This variation is ideal for logging arm-focused strength work in the Fitness Tracker app. The dumbbell format promotes control, symmetry, and shoulder safety.

Instructions

  1. Lie across a bench so only your shoulders are supported, hips down and feet on the floor.
  2. Hold a dumbbell with both hands vertically over your chest.
  3. Slowly lower the dumbbell toward your chest while keeping your elbows tucked.
  4. Press it back up until your arms are fully extended.
  5. Repeat for the prescribed reps.
