What grip do you use. I used to just get down and lift but I have recently revamped my form and I am now using the bulldog grip which has made things way more easier. What grip do you use?

I prefer lining up my hands with my shoulders and do close grip after for tris on chest day but every 4th week i go thumbs to shoulders to work the outer pecs

I almost lost my hand earlier this year due to an unrelated incident. Since then I have been having problems with.. basically anything that requres the use of my right hand.A fellow gym member decided to teach me how to utilize my strength better by teaching me the grip. It was a bit annoying at first but you get used to it. There is a good website that explains it, I can't post direct links but you can find it on Stronglifts if you Google it.

I have never heard of the bulldog grip, but it sounds like it is working for you. I guess I am somewhat fortunate having not had to alter my standard grip for any injury or anything like that.

It's like when I do French curls or skull crushers when I burn out close grip bench I fold in my thumb feels better

Bench Press with shoulder wide grip is the best workout to engage your pecs. Wider grips emphasize more on shoulders than chest. Having Bulldog grip would relieve stress from your wrist.
