Any benching pics from ceiling angle?

I see these pics of powerlifting meets where the guys are benching huge weights, but it does`nt look like they are "elbows in".

Even on the Mendenhall (sp) video the elbows looked flared out.

I`m not a powerlifteror strongman, Just keep hearing about keeping elbows in but don`t see it.

It could be so subtle that I`m not seeing it. So that could be my mistake. I just looked at brute`s thread with the pics of Alabama guy. Are they "elbows in"?

If they are "in". Then I may be overdoing the "tucking in" on my bench press.

well they may flare a little, but the point is to try and not let them.

plus you have to take into consideration how big those guys lats and arms are, the bigger they are the less they can push the arms and lats into each other. so they may be tucking just on a lot more limited rom. but still its as far as possible for them.
