Close Grip Bench Press

Grip the bar with a shoulder-width grip -- not narrower, that strains the wrists.

Lower the bar to the bottom of your chest, elbows close to the body.

The narrow grip shifts the emphasis from chest to triceps.

Press up explosively and fully extend the elbows at the top.

Keep your wrists straight and back flat on the bench throughout the entire movement.

Good alternative for overhead triceps exercises if the shoulder cannot tolerate them.
