I'm stronger tucked with a shoulder width grip than I am any wider. Mainly because that is the only barbell grip I can train without suffering pain.

I've never had any shoulder pain from benching. I was quite surprised when I realized it was a common thing.
Depends what you're benching namsayin'?
It's also just pure luck in some cases. Some people go years and years doing bodybuilding bench style and they get no rotator cuff issues. Get some other guy doing near perfect form, shoulders back blah blah and they get ****ed up.
Can someone explain the differences between the two videos for point 4 on page 2?
Looks exactly the same in both videos!

The bar is more under control and flops around less at the bottom because his upper back is tighter.

They look the same but the point is about pulling the bar so one is pulling and the other isn't.
So you don't just let the bar fall to your chest but you want to pull it like a row.

I tried looking for that but it's monolift brah. Plus, doesn't look buried to me.
It's walked out of a monolift? Done 3 times too all just to make sure anal judges give 3 whites. Kirk is a monster but his best equipped squat is only 5kg higher than Malanichev's best raw squat.
Here's one of the 450s done in the gym. [video="youtube;4CYRMpGlB5E"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CYRMpGlB5E&feature=channel[/video]
450 was attempted twice not three times. My bad.

Technically, yes.
In reality, he doubled 1000 so it's not exactly the same.
Plus bear in mind single-ply of that era is nothing like single-ply today.

Yarp.
On a slightly unrelated note - why is this thread JUST for men? Why the segregation?

From my post above you may gather as to why that is.

If you think you are stronger with a closer grip then it would be very stupid to not do it. Because, ****, it's safer and you're stronger. Most of us are weaker at it but do it because we want safety. Don't be stupid...
Also, 5/3/1 works. There may be something wrong with you. Don't mean that in a bad way but I'd look at other factors before deciding 5/3/1 is the reason.

I only bench with a wider grip because i was advised too, i think it's a matter of getting used to it.
i dunno maybe i was pushing the assistance work too hard, but heck i gained 6lbs slept enough and stuff...... i got stronger slightly on my bench weaker in pressing( went from 60x6 to 60x3) deadlift and squat stayed pretty much around the same... i was really motivated before i started the program i went out shopping and bought a ****-load of food to make sure i had no excuses for the first month.
Edit: maybe 5/3/1 gave me too much freedom to **** things up lol, o well i guess you live and learn
