Bench Press Grip Width Debate: Middle Finger on Knurl or Natural?
Grip where forearms stay perfectly vertical
Hands just outside shoulder width usually
Follow joint comfort over knurl dogma
Chest grows with pain free leverage always
Knurl marks aren’t universal truth anyway
Just outside shoulder width works best
Vertical forearms maximize chest activation
Joint comfort beats knurl alignment always
Sweet spot equals pain free pressing
Grip width that protects shoulders most
Knurl is just guide not strict rule
Experiment within comfort avoid joint stress
