Schritt für Schritt

  1. Set the bench to a 15 to 30 degree decline, rack the bar at chest level, and grip it with hands 8 to 10 inches apart, thumbs wrapped fully around the bar
  2. Unrack by rotating the bar and lower it under control to the lower chest, keeping elbows tucked at roughly 45 degrees from your torso
  3. Press the bar back to full lockout by driving through the triceps, not the chest, finishing with elbows straight but not hyperextended
  4. Re-rack by rotating the bar back into the safety hooks before releasing your grip completely

Häufige Fehler

  • Flaring the elbows out wide shifts stress onto the chest and shoulders, so actively keep your elbows tracking close to your sides throughout every rep
  • Using too wide a grip defeats the close grip purpose and reduces triceps activation, so check your hand spacing before every set
  • Bouncing the bar off the chest to grind out reps removes tension from the triceps and risks injury, so pause briefly at the bottom and press with deliberate control

Profi-TippAt the top of each rep consciously rotate your wrists very slightly inward as you lock out, this final cue maximizes the squeeze through the lateral and medial triceps heads that most lifters leave completely untrained.
