How to do it

  1. 1The dumbbell close-grip press is an upper arm exercise that primarily targets the triceps, with secondary emphasis on the chest and shoulders.

Coaching cues

  • Sit on a flat bench with a dumbbell in each hand, resting on your thighs.
  • Using your thighs to help raise the dumbbells, lift the dumbbells one at a time so that you can hold them in front of you at shoulder width.
  • Once at shoulder width, rotate your wrists forward so that the palms of your hands are facing away from you. This will be your starting position.
  • As you breathe in, slowly lower the dumbbells to your side until they are about level with your chest.
  • As you exhale, use your triceps to lift the dumbbells back to the starting position.
  • Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
