Does Bench Press Work Triceps or Chest?

Does bench press work your triceps or chest?

The bench press exercise works both your triceps and chest muscles (pectorals). Depending on your grip during the bench press you can place more emphasis on one of the muscle groups. A wider bench press grip will work more of your chest muscles than your triceps. On the other hand, a narrow grip will work more of your triceps then your chest.
