is it uncommon to bench press as much as close-grip?

[latinus_spicticus]

I can bench more with my index fingers on the smooth part of the bar than I can with a wide grip. So yeah I can close grip very much better. Take into account that I have long arms at 6' tall and primarily bench with my delts and tris with a rediculous tuck (elbows completely parallel with torso). My best incline bench press grip is alot wider, though.

close grip is about 10 pounds more than wide. I likey close grip. I do it exclusively. Will probably switch it up with wide grip after a couple cycles.
