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.



looks like a chest exercise to me

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.

Who ever taught you should be shot (no, not in the literal sense). But thanks anyway.

I thought close grips were when your hands were close together.  Thanks for the clarification.
Watch a video of James Henderson CG benching. I always laugh at the twinks with their hands together doing cg bench, goodbye wrists.

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

Got 12 with 250. 8)
