What is your grip on barbell bench, and does it ever change?

[CobraUTAH]

On an olympic bar I put my index finger on the single polished rings that are about 24-28" apart. I'm wondering if anyone alters their grip during regular training routines or during max efforts? I always stick with the same grip on both flat and incline barbell, and it doesn't change from regular routine to max effort.

Always the same for me.. pinky/ring fingers on the smooth ring

Those are called 'power rings,' btw.

I put my pinkes there but they tend to slide out a bit. Point is, the closer together, the more work by tris, the further apart, the more chest.

I use three grips, wide, med and narrow in training. I use a 32" grip in competition.
