can not remember what video you talk about bench press with flare out your elbows  vs  tucking in.now I lean & read bodybuilding 20 olds years ago, they do upper arms and forearms 90degree, flare out elbows , no leg drive, flat back, no arch of back.it was seen as powerlifter with elbows tucking in, leg drive, arch of backit been huge debate with bodybuilding vs powerlifter/strength trainer for long time about how to do a bench press.what your opinion ?me I have done traditional bodybuilding bench press for long time, then changed a bit of my style with elbows tucking in it feel better now am old

My shoulders feel like shit with a closer grip bench. People kept telling me closer grip equals less shoulder strain. Opposite for me.

I have moved my grip to a close grip. There is a lot less shoulder pain. You will lose strength
Initially. I have seen a guy bench 700 doing it.
Work hard on dips till strength moves up.

Actually, you are right, I am new to powerlifting. I am also torso dominant and I was using a shoulder width grip with tucked in elbows and was hardly going past 90kgs for 10 reps. I changed the gym and due to some technical issues with the bench, I used a wider grip and boom.. I was benching 100 kgs for 10 reps immediately.

I have 2.25" longer reach than my height, but also relatively broad clavicles for my height (5'10"). Just got back into benching and lifting in general, and I naturally feel more strong/comfortable with a pretty narrow grip (almost close grip bench) when benching, elbows tucked proper hip & leg involvement/stabilization.

Should I try with a wider grip due to having long arms? Tucking your elbows just feels more safe & powerful.

Does the bench arch remove the upper chest from the movement?
