that shit doesn't hit your triceps at all. I've literally done everything, different hand positions, different weights, suicide grip, high reps, low reps and NOTHING fucking works
literally such a fucking troll exercise. Rope pulldowns and dumbbell tricep extensions >>>> close grip bench
Keep your elbows tucked in the whole fucking time. Try incline pause half rep close grip. It gets my triceps great and helps a fuck ton with OHP. Try for 10-15 repa when targetting small muscles like tris and take your fucking time. Pause halfway, hold a second and let the weight fall on triceps, now extend with this tension. Bouncing will get you nowhere.

I think you guys are just waking up to the fact that the female race is in fact insectoid and all completely interchangable, boring, vulgar aesthetics also, entirely functionally built, not for beauty.

OK first of all, the close-grip bench press isn't a good triceps exercise because it isolates the triceps better or gives the better burn or whatever you seem to judge an exercise's effectiveness by. It's good due to the simple but extremely important reason that it's a compound exercise that allows you to work up to some seriously heavy poundages. Progression is what drives gains. And you can literally keep progressing on CGBP for years. Contrast that to rope pushdows where you'll stall hard after a month or two.
Secondly, technique does play a part. If you want your triceps to do more of the work, try to keep elbows in front of the barbell (when viewed from your feet) as you lower it. Doing this creates a moment arm that places a lot more stress on the triceps.
Lastly, and this might be semi-broscience, there's something about the bench press that makes it better and better for the triceps as you become able to handle more and more weight. It sounds a little weird, but I've actually seen a study on this once that sort of confirmed it - As the weight keeps going up, triceps activation becomes greater and greater. When you can CGBP 2 plates for reps I promise you'll start seeing results.

It's more of a bench accessory

Probably all three of these

i started doing close grip recently and it gives me super pump in my triceps, more than anything else
i won't say you are doing it wrong, maybe it just doesn't work for you
