I'm a pretty big guy, with a 6'6 wingspan. A general rule of thumb is to keep the index finger on the ring during bench. Should a taller person go further out?

It's ILLEGAL and I see literally no reason as to why it would necessarily be more advantageous than simply improving your arch.

I'm not training for competition just trying to adjust the ratio of pec-to-tricep work in my bench.

>>42101129
depends what your segment lengths are, if you have a wide clavicle and short forearms in that wingspam then maybe it will be advantageous, if long forearms and short clavicle maybe not

There is literally no noticeable difference in pectoral muscle activation based on grip width, it is literally completely fucking impossible to perform a bench press rep to correct depth without involving the chest musculature.

Hell, if you're not competing you might as well do close grip only as it's LITERALLY the best possible bench variation for overall strength and athleticism.

What's the standard distance on close grip?

Shoulder width like shoulder press?

Yeah about shoulder width, just wherever you land when you arms are extended straight. Remember to pause and don't treat it like an accessory movement for optimal results.
