Close-Grip Presses Hand Spacing???

[loco75_dfw]

I just wanted to ask what the appropriate hand spacing on the bar is for CG's. Last night, I did 2 sets of 185 for 8 reps and 2 sets of 3 reps for 225. My hands were grasping the bar right where the knurls begin on the inside. I would say my hands were out directly in front of me about 12 inches apart.

Does that make sense? Did i do them correctly or do I have to use a narrower grip which kills my wrists, btw....

perfect. you wants your hands to brush against your sides. you don't want such a close grip that your wrists bend at the sides.

it is the way i do mine exactly.. just dont let your wrist bend and feel the squeeze at the top for maximum peak..

ya' usually 12-14 inches apart is ideal
