Rope push downs would seem to be the most efficiant and effective exercise seeing that you can really get a good squeeze in the contracted position like no other exercise.
You're always going to be able to move more weight with your standard grip as opposed to a narrower grip spacing as the weight (bar) is traveling less distance.
Having said that, do you all really beleieve the spacing of the hands on the bar make a difference in activatining more tricep and less tricep involvement?

Cheers, I reckon the spacing of the hands make a difference because when I do wide grip presses, it reminds me of doing flys because I can feel the chest doing way more work than the triceps as opposed to the narrow grip position.
Heavy strict presses, weighted dips, rope pushdowns.
I bought a plate stack machine just so I could do pushdowns. Rape the triceps but won't destroy the elbows.

Have never done CGBP much but yes I do believe that the narrow spacing causes more tricep involvement.
It's all about the number of degrees of movement in the various joints. With close grip the elbow moves from roughly 45 to 180 so 135 degrees and the shoulder maybe 45 to 90 whereas normal grip is roughly 90 degrees each.
Incidentally, the last time I tried, I could CGBP more than my normal bench.
