I do 275x5 regularly. Could get 12-15 but I rarely go beyond 5.

I ramp the weight up, though. Warm up with 135, go up to 175 then 220 and ending with 265 for 4-5 if I have it in me.

Hmm.

You're a bench wonder, though. Don't you bench 455?

At this point I'm more interested in maintaining size and gaining power and strength than adding size. I'm almost 50, I have enough size.

I thought close grips were when your hands were close together.  Thanks for the clarification.

warm up with 6 with 135, 5 with 185, 2 with 220 and then go all out with 250, see how many you get.

close grips have more to do with the elbows than hands, if your elbows are tightly tucked to your sides thats a close grip bench.

so your grip can be not close for close grip bench, interesting.

Any closer than what I have you run the risk of distroying your wrists. I use a grip with my index finger on the smooth part of the bar with elbows in tight.

oh for pete's sake.  

You will always use more weight with wide grip bench press or medium grip that you are using.  anyone knows that.  Your thumbs should just about touch or closer with a true close grip.

I don't know anyone with "distroyed" wrists, period.
