close grips question i would like some advice on close grips. my workout partner swears by them but insists that in order to do them correctly you need to grip with your hands together. this puts a hell of a strain on my wrists when i go heavy and i dont feel like dropping weights on my face. i have actually read a study (sorry it was so long ago i cant reference it) that said that you actually dont want to do that, the recommended grip was about 6 inches apart or both thumbs extended touching. this is supposed to hit the tri's best on this exercise. i prefer things like skull crushers, tri extensions and standing dumbell french curls. but these are good once in a while and i just want to know what form to use. thank you in advance for your help. |
