How to do it

Incline Close-Grip Bench Press is a compound upper-body exercise that works the triceps and helps build the upper and inner chest. Unlike the regular bench press, which trains the chest more broadly, this variation places more emphasis on the upper and inner chest.

For better results with this exercise, use lighter loads and perform higher repetitions rather than trying to lift too much weight.
