To me that is normal, and I for one dont want to hurt myself benching. You can do it however you like.

This is all about maximizing your gains and minimizing injury.

Whether you classify yourself as a bodybuilder or a power lifter, proper form should be one of your primary concerns. Improper form is one of the first mistakes a novice will make in weight training that can result in severe injuries.

I just tried bench pressing with the arm positioning in the picture & I felt it much more in my chest & had more power.

**Mudge** · 08-23-2004, 07:52 PM

I still feel it in my chest (you wont much with a shirt), but it takes a tremendous load off my delts.

One can not go heavy using this form. I tried it, I can not lift heavy.

Give it time, you need to adapt

Ahsan · 10-24-2004, 12:43 AM

ya it will, I think so

DOS Forever · 10-24-2004, 10:04 PM

Ok, let me see if I got this right...

This way of bench pressing relives stress on shoulders by placing more emphasis on tris than chest, correct?

If I got that right, this might be exactly what my left shoulder needs.

Randy · 10-24-2004, 11:09 PM

Close grip benching would put more emphasis on the tris.

This style of benching puts more stress on shoulders and tri's
