The Dumbbell Close Grip Chest Press is a variation of the traditional dumbbell chest press that specifically targets the triceps while still engaging the chest muscles. By bringing your hands closer together on the dumbbells, you place more emphasis on the triceps, making it an effective exercise for building strength and definition in the back of the arms.
Let's get started by moving forward in your chair and leaning back so you are at an angle. then grab both your dumbbells and curl them up, by bending at the elbows until the hands are at shoulder height with your palms facing inwards and the elbows tucked into the side.
This is the starting position.
From here press one of them upwards until your arm is almost locked out, or as far as you can.
Once done, return the dumbbell back safely to the shoulder and repeat the movement on the opposite arm. Once you have done both arms this is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping Aids to make this exercise as safe as possible.
