> I found the value of a wider grip during the Army Physical Fitness test. I used to do pushups with a shoulder width hand position. I would hit failure around 45 and get a terrible score. Once I spead my hand position much wider I was able to do close to 100 pushups in 2 minutes. I use close grip bench press exclusively for triceps. For all other benching I use a very wide grip.

U know what,come to think of it,i tryied a wider grip on my last set and it was easier on reg bench and i ddint feel it on my tris as much but by that time i was tired as hell n sore. When we work chest again on mon i will try a wider grip.
