  2. It actually felt surprisingly naturally. Usually my pointer is on the power rings, so this is a pretty substantial change imo.

    Obviously I didnt feel as strong as normal, but I felt confident enough to go semi-heavy and did a solid number of sets. I think two things made it the change pretty easy for me. First - dips. The dip bars at my gym are decently wide, so I'm kind of used to pressing with a little bit of a tuck. Second, I've done a fair amount of close grip incline over the past few months.

    I think I'm going to continue with this grip. Its better for my shoulders long term, and it puts me in a better leveraged, more powerful position. I'm glad you suggested this... most of the best benchers utilize a triceps heavy bench.
