got grip?

How wide should the grip be for powerlifter bench?

it depends on what you are really working on. comp grip, the widest you can go, is index fingers on the rings. training out that wide all the time might not be totally productive, bringing the hands inside the rings can really help your lockout. variety tends to be the key, so when you come back to comp grip, you surprise yourself.

Thanks nate!

Is there any "normal" grip relative to your body size? The bar's at my gym have rings in the wrong places
