Smith Close-grip Bench Press
The Smith close-grip bench press is a strength exercise done on a Smith machine. It mainly works the muscles in the back of your arms, called the triceps. It also helps your chest and shoulder muscles. You push a bar up and down with your hands close together, which makes your triceps do most of the work.
