If you like doing CGBP try out the Reverse Grip… your hands go out wide, but i find it hits my triceps just as well, i’m nearly ahead on my RGBP as it’s really comfortable to hold in the palm of your hand.
Reverse grip add-ins now and then really push your limits IMHO.
As for regular, I make sure the bar is even with my shoulders and keep it about 2-4 inches away from my chest on the negative.
I do close grip benching on tricep day. I do presses off 2 boards and the grip with my hands about 10 inches apart. This seems to help my triceps alot. I do chest & shoulds on monday, back & biceps on wednesday, then triceps & legs on friday.

Close grip = Elbows Flared to you or no?
On close grip/Elbows Flared, my elbows go out almost 90 degrees in relation to my body

like for lack of a better visual remedy.
I think this depends on how close your hands are together. The closer they are the more flare you will have. I use a shoulder width grip, so my elbows don’t flare much. I think they might be around 45 degrees.[/quote]
This is the best way IMO.
I also suggest using the thumbless grip, just seems to hit the triceps better
