Grip width on shoulder presses?

[Wyllis]

What is the best grip width on barbell should presses?

I only use dumbell presses at the moment any advice would be sound.

Double shoulder width in my opinion.. this is whats good for adding HUMUNGOUS delt width.....

The wider your grip on shoulder presses, the shorter your range of motion. I keep mine shoulder width, maybe slightly wider. That'll get your elbows down nice and low to get the most out of the excercise.

Definitely bro I would say something just outside shoulder-width grip to really drop the bar down low and fully contract the delts. Good luck!

Middle fingers are 24" apart for me...which is not quite shoulder width for me I train this way because that is the grip width on most logs used for overhead presses.
