    How wide is your grip on bench presses? I have attempted a closer grip and try to keep my elbows tucked like the experts say. It just doesn't feel natural to me. I normally grip with my ring finger on the power ring. Too wide?

    I meet Jeremy Hornstram(sp) at our meet He has a 700lb bench He said he uses a very narrow grip so that can push with his lats...first time I have heard that one. When he showed me his grip it wasnt what I would call a narrow grip, his little finger is on ring I think

    Hornstram is a freak huge tris. I just feel stronger wide grip. 3-4 years ago I met a very good strength very good ipf lifter and he told me to try to bring in my grip some but in watching me ny chest is much stonger and he said I was a better chest bencher and I feel that has contributed to my chest being esp side chest I think being a better bodypart for me.

    Mryk03 as far as tucking elbows that should help but you have to practice that technique with lighter weight but when you get 90% or greater it is very hard to stay tucked as you do what feels natural. I like pinky on ring finger too or even a tad wider just depends how I feel with the bar. when you tuck you take chest out of the movement and it is more on tris. If your goal is pure benching more just do what you are stronger at.

    Thanks,it just feels natural to me using this grip. I guess I just needed validation from you guys! I do keep my scapula contracted and tight. Like you I'm a chest presser and I feel like most of my development came from doing it this way.

    yes I do as well keep lats tight try to get the baclk as thick as possible seated machine chest supported rows are good try to keep row in same path you would bench to work the same muscles but in reverse and then work width pullups I like the best/
