I have never tried it. Maybe I will just to see.

how heavy are you benching? I've done it maybe a couple times when my elbow was bothering me.

im not doing my 1rep max, just with reps of 6 or 7, but the elbows really bother me, will it be ok to use, and will it take emphasis off the chest?

Are your elbows bothering you? or your tendons? You taking something to give you proper joint lubrication?

I don't use them. I find it helps my elbows if I simply keep my hands fairly close together when benching. Super wide grips do nothing for me except put undue stress on my shoulders and elbows, both of which is rather pointless if I can solve it by moving my grip closer together.

no me. no need. i am not a powerlifter and i dont have any elbow problems.
