I read a Frederic Delavier’s book « Strength Training Anatomy » and I learned good stuff.
Lying on a horizontal bench with your butt glued to the bench and your feet on the ground :
-
Takes the barbell with a pronated grip. The distance between your hands varies from 10 to 40 cm (3.9 to 15.7 inches) of your wrists flexibility.
-
Inhale and lower the barbell by controlling the movement to your torso.
-
Press and exhale at the end of the movement.
This exercise works the inner chest and triceps. This exercise can be part of an arm training program. By doing this exercise with the elbows along your body, it allows to work more anterior deltoids. This exercise can be done at the Smith machine.
Attention : There are several different morphologies so it’s possible that the close-grip create wrist pain. In this case, it’s advisable to spread the hands slightly.
