Beschrijving
Dumbbell Close-grip Press is a dumbbell press variation performed with a close grip. This exercise works the chest muscles while also intensely targeting the triceps muscles. The close grip places more load on the front shoulders. The use of dumbbells offers a wider range of motion and asymmetric training possibility. It is effective for gaining upper body strength and muscle mass. It has both compound and isolation characteristics.

Veelgemaakte fouten
