What is considered proper form??
Grip width, touch position, elbows?
I need to add some triceps strength/mass. I’ve been thinking I could either do CGBP if I get the right form, JM Press?, weighted dips or tate presses. Any suggestions that I could focus on first?

Grip Width: I have my first fingers on the shiny part of the bar.
Touch position: just like the bench press. Arm lengths do differ, but for most the bottom of the ribs.
Elbows: tuck them in, especially if you have shoulder issues.
For triceps, avoid any extension exercises is probably the best bit of advice I can think of - they were fine when I was weak though… Compounds with an emphasis on the triceps and pushdowns are my faves.
