False grip on bench

[dootyd3]

i believe its beneficial to use both b/c u r using different stabilizer muscles but,closed grip for heavy cycles(6-8reps) & open for light cycles(12-15reps).if my grip is to wide then both positions hurt my wrist.

i always use that grip while doing close grip bench ....helps me keep in my elbows closer

Wow im suprised all you guys dont use suicide grip, thats how the power lifters lift, it puts the weight directly over the bone so you get more power...

Well Big Anthony uses a Reverse Grip...I think that may just be in a category all to itself

I don't even know how to use a normal grip anymore, that shit used to kill my wrists, hopefully using a false grip won't end hurting me in the long run.

I saw a guy drop the weight doing that in a contest. It looked like it would have hurt bad but he got right up like nothing was wrong.

I do think it's better for close grip bench.
