Hey guys, could you critique and check my form on close grip bench please? I maxed out at 305 today, which is a 20 lb PR for me, and I did it after training delts so I could probably have gotten a bit more fresh.
I did:
barx10
135x10
185x5
205x5
225x3
275x1
295x1
305x1

Here is the 295 vid:

Here's 305:

I know the angle is bad on the 305 vid, I only realized it after the lift, sorry

Thanks
 
Not trying to gig you bro but why are you maxing out on close grips. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for maxing on the big three, just got to be careful. Just wondering why close grips. Either way, props for you for posting a vid.

Today I tested my regular bench max, and got 315... I think it's weird that my regular bench is only 10 lbs stronger than close grip...
 
Thats a little wide for close grip

^ That's what I was thinking. Your close grip should be just a tad bit more close, that's probably why your regular grip bench press is only 10lbs stronger; other than that, good form and good lift.
