Dynamic bench

[BigCorey75]

hey when doing dynamic bench do you guys use all three grips or just your benchign grip?


normally i try to use all three grips, for 3 sets each, but some times if my elbow or shoulder is bothering me ill just stick to my normal bench grip


would there be anything wrong if i just ued this one grip or is it key to use all three different grips?

Play around with it and see what works for you.

I don't think 3 grips is necessary

[BigCorey75]

yeah thats what i ws thinking, im not to concerned with how much i can close or medium grip, ima focus on my normal grip and continue to develop the speed i need

I'd say stick to all 3 grips. It helps you activate different muscle fibers and gives you a stronger all-around bench press.

The only reason I switch grips is because im adjusting to a wider and wider grip. I want to be benching ring fingers on ring, but my tri's account for too much of the lift right now. So when im under 75% of my 1RM I bench ring fingers on ring.. above that I have to move in to pinkys on the rings.

I was taught by some pretty knowledgable guys to switch grips when doing DE bench stuff, play around with different things.

[BigCorey75]

hmm, ok, my natural grip is fairly wide the medium is about shoudler width for me and close is right inside the armpits


but i have to play it by feel, if my wrist and elbows are sore ill do all three grips

I do 8 sets

2 close grip
3 regular
2 wide
1 reverse
