I agree with you guys that to hit chest you have to go wider but I am 55 going on 56 and have been training for 35 years....Wide grip benching will catch up to you....There are much better exercises to hit chest that flat barbell benches.DB flat benches and Incline work. Just trying to prevent what I went through. Both rotator cuffs tore off. Surgery on both.....15 years of can't turn over in bed. I went back into bodybuilding from Powerlifting and since I cut the low rep work ( it was hard at first) I am finally pain free. Instead of benching 315X5 I know rarely go over 225 with pinky on the rings for 12-15. Real slow and it will hit the pecs....heavy benching was never a chest exercise to me anyway....more triceps...Ken
