close grip bench
I did these for my triceps today and really felt them a huge amount in my delts and traps for some reason. There is obviously a problem with my form but am not sure what. i have looked it up on the excercise tab, but am still unclear. I think the problem may lie in my elbows, i am not sure if i am meant to keep them by me sides or outwards as i lower the weight.. or it could be something else.. anyone have any comments?

Re: close grip bench
yes tuck your elbows into your sides throughout the movement.

Even on a standard flat bench your elbows should not extend beyond 45 degrees from your body. You could put undue stress on your rotator cuffs.

Re: close grip bench
you must have a very narrow grip, to feel the triceps working their way to hypertropthy bliss.
